4 Teaching notes and answers The solutions below are examples children may (and should be encouraged to) come up with alternatives. Now write the fractions in order from smallest to biggest. The diagrams above should help as they help the child to recognise equivalent fractions. If they find ordering difficult, convert all the fractions to eighths. Circle the statements that are true. Children may need to be reminded about the meanings of =, < and >. As above, converting all of the fractions to eighths or using the diagrams will help. = < > = > = > 0 Page of

There are alternative solutions that can be found. To challenge more able children, ask them questions such as, How many different ways can you shade?

5 There are alternative solutions that can be found. To challenge more able children, ask them questions such as, How many different ways can you shade? They may need blank grids to 0 investigate (included after these notes) Children will need to realise that a half is equivalent to five tenths. By converting the fractions to tenths (the diagrams above will help) they should be able to compare them to a half. Which of the fractions above are greater than ½? 0 0 Which of the fractions above are less than ½? 0 0 The blank grids can be used as support for this activity ask the children to shade the given fractions side by side to compare them. < 0 > 0 = 6 0 < 0 < > 0 = 0 < Page of

6 Emphasise that the number of squares is important, but not which squares are coloured. Below are some examples that the children may not find but could be asked to answer in reverse i.e. what fraction is shaded? Children should be encouraged to see the connection between this activity and division. For example, 0 = therefore to show a quarter, shade in five squares. Fractions that add to make can be represented as inverses of each other. See ¼ and ¾ below as an example. Children could use the blank grids (to be found after the teacher s notes) to find other examples Find as many equivalent fractions as you can. The first one is done for you. Children could use the following blank grids to investigate. Children should understand how to generate equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same amount. = 0 Page 6 of
