Can I order and compare fractions?

1. Today’s learning questions are… Can I order and compare fractions? Can I find decimal equivalents of fractions?

2. 0 1 4 1 5 3 4 6 10 1 2 1 2 1 Let’s start by ordering these fractions on a numberline. Remember to draw a diagram if you need to. 1

3. 0 1 1 4 1 5 3 4 6 10 1 2 1 2 1 I can order fractions! How did you do? ...then this one’s easy! Best start with this one… ... and this one too!

4. > < 1 4 1 5 3 4 6 10 1 2 Now we’d better compare them…

5. > > < < 1 4 1 5 3 4 6 10 1 2 1 5 3 4 6 10 Did you find any of these? Which others did you find?

6. 0 £1 25p 50p £1.50 75p 3 4 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 If these were fractions of £1.00 How much money would we have? ? pence ? pence ? pence 100 pence ? pence Solve these on your whiteboard

7. 20p 60p 1 5 6 10 If these were fractions of £1.00 What about these two? Six tenths is a bit trickier… but I know one tenth of a pound is 10p, so six tenths must be 6 x 10p. That’s easy! One fifth of 100 is the same as 100 divided by 5 or how many 5s in 100

8. What do you notice about the fractions of one pound (£1.00) and the fractions of a kilogram (1kg)? 1/2 of £1.00 = 50p 1/4 of £1.00 = 25p 3/4 of £1.00 = 75p 11/2 of £1.00 = £1.50 1/5 of £1.00 = 20p 6/10 of £1.00 = 60p 1/2 of 1 kg = 500g 1/4 of 1kg = 250g 3/4 of 1kg = 750g 11/2 kg = 1500g 1/5 of 1kg = 200g 6/10 of 1kg = 600g

9. Plenary Explanation & Presentation Members of Squares group will explain how they solved: Activity 106 - Compare fractions They might draw on whiteboards to help show their thinking
