Maths - Finding a non-unit fraction of an amount

Class 3 have been working extremely hard in maths at the moment! The children have been using their knowledge to find a non-unit fraction of an amount. 
 
The class have become experts at using key vocabulary, including:
  • numerator
  • denominator
  • divison bar
  • equal parts
  • whole
  • unit fractions
  • non-unit fraction
Here are some pictures of us working in pairs to tackle a reasoning question. The children were using the concrete resources (Base 10 or Place Value Counters) and drawing bar models on the tables first. Using the concrete and pictorial representations has really supported their calculations.
