Fruit fraction lessons

These 5 lessons, targeting students at Years 3-4, can be used as standalone lessons or as a sequence of lessons to develop understandings and proficiency in recognising and representing unit fractions, such as halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, eighths and tenths. Students use visual aids such as number lines, arrays, and fraction walls to represent, order and compare fractions. 

These lessons were developed in collaboration with the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT).
