Fractions

Year 2 Maths
Australian Curriculum: Fractions and Decimals

Recognise and interpret common uses of halves, quarters and eighths of shapes and collections
(ACMNA033 )

LI: I understand that a fraction is one or more equal parts of a whole.

SC: I can identify and create halves, quarters and eighths.

RESOURCES: Newspaper, cut out shapes, maths books, white shapes to cut out

LESSON STRUCTURE:

Intro: Unpack LI and SC. Strategies:


15 minutes Setting Goals
Questioning
Explicit Teaching
Examples

Learning styles:
Visual/spatial
Social/interpersonal
Aural/auditory
Logical/mathematical

Students turn and talk to person next to them about this picture.
Then discuss as a class. What’s happening? What’s the difference
between the two sandwiches? Discuss what a fraction is.

Use cut out shapes to demonstrate folding in halves, quarters and


eighths. Stick on whiteboard / anchor chart. Fold some shapes
unevenly and ask students if these are fractions. Sort shapes on
board into ‘fractions’ and ‘not fractions’.
Body: Fraction Boogie: Strategies:
Each student will be given a sheet of newspaper which they will Multiple exposures
10 mins spread on the floor as a whole piece. The teacher plays some music Worked example
and students dance on their piece of newspaper. When the music
stops, the students fold their newspaper in half. Then they start Learning styles:
dancing on half the newspaper. This continues until they are Visual/spatial
dancing on one quarter, and then one eighth. They can look at all Physical/kinaesthetic
the folds in the paper then have a class discussion about the Logical/mathematical
fractions they created during the activity. Solitary/intrapersonal

30 mins Activity:
Teacher models first.
Students create fractions out of paper shapes (squares, circles,
hearts etc, prepared by teacher) by folding them in half. They
categorise the fractions and glue examples of fractions on one side
and glue examples of shapes that are not fractions (not divided
evenly) on the other side.

Extension: Cut out white shapes and fold into fractions. Colour in
a fraction, stick it in maths book and label, numerically.

Conclusion: Students share work. Teacher gives feedback, emphasising Strategies:


5 mins success criteria. Feedback

Learning styles:
Social/interpersonal
