I can share out a group of items by making smaller groups and can split a whole object into smaller parts.

*Responsibility of all

Having explored fractions by taking part in practical activities, I can show my understanding of:
  • how a single item can be shared equally
  • the notation and vocabulary associated with fractions
  • where simple fractions lie on the number line.

*Responsibility of all

I have investigated the everyday contexts in which simple fractions, percentages or decimal fractions are used and can carry out the necessary calculations to solve related problems.

*Responsibility of all

I can solve problems by carrying out calculations with a wide range of fractions, decimal fractions and percentages, using my answers to make comparisons and informed choices for real-life situations.

*Responsibility of all

I can choose the most appropriate form of fractions, decimal fractions and percentages to use when making calculations mentally, in written form or using technology, then use my solutions to make comparisons, decisions and choices.

*Responsibility of all

  Through exploring how groups of items can be shared equally, I can find a fraction of an amount by applying my knowledge of division.

*Responsibility of all

I can show the equivalent forms of simple fractions, decimal fractions and percentages and can choose my preferred form when solving a problem, explaining my choice of method.

*Responsibility of all

   
      I can show how quantities that are related can be increased or decreased proportionally and apply this to solve problems in everyday contexts.

*Responsibility of all

Using proportion, I can calculate the change in one quantity caused by a change in a related quantity and solve real-life problems.
