Fractions (FDPRP) Objectives

Fractions and decimal objectives

Each objective is linked to a probing question. Each probing question has been written to expose a gap in understanding or misconception. There are links to a number of images/models that will illustrate how to address these gaps/misconceptions.

Where are these objectives from?

5	1999 FWKRound a number with one or two decimal places to the nearest integer [p31] 2006 FWKY5: Explain what each digit represents in whole numbers and decimals with up to two places, and partition, round and order these numbers	Fra Q07
5	1999 FWKUse fraction notation including mixed numbers [p23] 2006 FWKY4: Use diagrams to identify equivalent fractions, e.g. 6/8 and ¾ or 70/100 and 7/10; interpret mixed numbers and position them on a number line e.g. 3½	Fra Q09
5	1999 FWKRecognize when 2 simple fractions are equivalent [p23] 2006 FWKY5: Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one, e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is 5/8; find equivalent fractions, e.g. 7/10 = 14/20, or 19/10 = 1 9/10; relate fractions to their decimal representations	Fra Q10
5	1999 FWKOrder a set of fractions and position them on a number line [p23] 2006 FWKY4: Use diagrams to identify equivalent fractions, e.g. 6/8 and ¾ or 70/100 and 7/10; interpret mixed numbers and position them on a number line e.g. 3½	Fra Q11
5 6	1999 FWKRelate fractions to division [p25] 2006 FWKY5: Find fractions using division, eg. 1/100 of 5kg	Fra Q12
6	1999 FWKOrder a mixed set of numbers with up to 3 decimal places [p29] 2006 FWKY6: Use decimal notation for tenths, hundredths and thousandths, partition, round and order decimals with up tp three places, and position them on the number line	Fra Q13
6	1999 FWKKnow what each digit represents in a number with up to three decimal places [p29] 2006 FWKY6: Use decimal notation for tenths, hundredths and thousandths, partition, round and order decimals with up tp three places, and position them on the number line	Fra Q14
6	1999 FWKMultiply and divide decimals mentally by 10 or 100 and integers by 1000 and understand the effect [p7] 1999 FWKY5: Use understanding of place value to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100, 1000	Fra Q15
