Find a unit fraction of a quantity using representations Find unit and non-unit fractions of whole numbers exploring parts and wholes
I can use representations to find a unit fraction of a quantity.
A representation is a way of showing an idea or concept. One concept can be be shown by multiple representations .

Finding the value of a unit fraction One third of the whole equals 4 Tick the representation that represents this. 3 3 3 3 12 12 4 4 4 12 3 3 3
Tick the statement that matches the representation . Finding the value of a unit fraction One-quarter of 20 is equal to 5 One-fifth of 20 is equal to 4 One-twentieth of 4 is equal to 5 5 5 5 5 20
Finding the value of a unit fraction Complete the stem sentences for each image. 24 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 When 9 strawberries are divided into 3 equal parts, there are 3 strawberries in each part. Each part is one- third of the whole. One- third of 9 strawberries is 3 strawberries. When 10 counters are divided into 5 equal parts, there are 2 counters in each part. Each part is one- fifth of the whole. One- fifth of 10 counters is 2 counters. When 24 is divided into 8 equal parts, there is 3 in each part. Each part is one- eighth of the whole. One- eighth of 24 is 3 .
Finding the value of a unit fraction 2) Tick the statements that are true? Draw a bar model for each one. One-third of 15 is 5 One-fifth of 15 is 3 One-seventh of 21 is 4 One-tenth of 100 is 10 One-ninth of 81 is 9 15 5 5 5 15 3 3 3 3 3 21 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 100 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 81 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
