Unit fractions

Recognise, find, and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators

Teaching Table

Set out your lesson

Practise the bounded task in Unit fractions; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.

Activity

Can divide a set into equal groups; distinguish fraction of a set from fraction of one object.

Policy

Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.

Materials
  • These supplied stage cards

  • Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate

Sequence
  • Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.

  • Open Show first and explain its model.

  • Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.

  • Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.

  • Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.

No Printer

Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.

Privacy

Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.

Teaching limits and safe use

These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.

  • Finite discrete sets divisible by the denominator; not fractional leftovers.

Check understanding

  • Find 1/4 of 12 objects by dividing into 4 equal groups
  • Find 3/4 of 12 objects
  • Write the fraction of a set that is shaded or selected
“If there are 15 books on a shelf, can your child work out how many two-thirds of them is — and check by grouping the books into three equal piles?”
