MATHS
This unit introduces Fractions for the first time.
It builds on children’s knowledge of equal parts, which they have come across in previous units about multiplication and division. This unit also exposes children to equal parts in a range of contexts, including shape, numbers, measurements and money.
Within this unit, children will be introduced to fraction specific key language such as numerator and denominator and will be able to explain what each word means in context.
This week children will be introduced to the unit of Fractions practically :)
