apply knowledge of equivalence to compare, order and represent common fractions including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• applying factors and multiples to fraction denominators, such as halves with quarters, eighths and twelfths, and thirds with sixths, ninths and twelfths to determine equivalent representations of fractions in order to make comparisons
• representing fractions on the same number line, paying attention to relative position, and using this to explain relationships between denominators
• explaining equivalence and order between fractions using number lines, drawings and models
