compare and order fractions with the same and related denominators including mixed numerals, applying knowledge of factors and multiples; represent these fractions on a number line

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using pattern blocks to represent equivalent fractions; selecting one block or a combination of blocks to represent one whole, and making a design with shapes; recording the fractions to justify the total
• creating a fraction wall from paper tape to model and compare a range of different fractions with related denominators; using the model to play fraction wall games
• connecting a fraction wall model and a number line model of fractions to say how they are the same and how they are different; for example, explaining \(\frac14\) on a fraction wall represents the area of one-quarter of the whole while on the number line \(\frac14\) is identified as a point that is one-quarter of the distance between zero and one
