MA3-RQF-01 compares and orders fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10
MA3-RQF-02 determinesĀ $\frac{1}{2}$,Ā $\frac{1}{4}$,Ā $\frac{1}{5}$Ā Ā andĀ $\frac{1}{10}$Ā of measures and quantities
>[!abstract]- Prior Knowledge
>- Partitioned Fractions (Stage 2)
## Recognise the role of the number 1 as representing the whole
- Compare halves and quarters of different sized wholes
- Justify the need for fractions to refer to the number 1 as the common whole (Reasons about quantity)
## Compare and order common unit fractions
- Compare unit fractions as numbers to the benchmark valueĀ $\frac{1}{2}$Ā
- Compare and order unit fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 by placing them on a number line
## Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator
- Represent the sum of fractions with the same denominator, recreating the whole, where the result may exceed one
- Find the difference between fractions with the same denominator and interpret the answer
- Solve word problems that involve fractions with the same denominator
- Use diagrams, objects and mental strategies to subtract a unit fraction from any whole number including 1 (the complement principle)
