find ½ and ¼ of shapes
and a small number of
objects
Begin to recognise that
2 halves or 4 quarters

unit fractions eg ⅓ ,
⅛ , ¼, ½ and use to
find fractions of
shapes and numbers
Begin to recognise
simple fractions that
are several parts of a
whole eg ¾, ⅔
Year 4
Use fraction notation
Find fractions such as ⅔
¾ of shapes
Recognise simple
fractions that are
several parts of a
Year 5
Year 6
Use fraction notation
including mixed numbers
and vocabulary of
numerator and
denominator
Recognise the
relationship between
fractions eg 1/10 is ten
times 1/100 & 1/16 is
half of 1/8
Year 7

fraction to a mixed
number
whole eg ⅔ and ⅝ and
mixed numbers such as
5¾
Estimate a simple
fraction
Equivalence
of fractions
Begin to recognise that
2 quarters and one half
are equivalent

simple equivalent
fractions eg. 5/10, and
½ , 5/5 and 1 whole.
Recognise
equivalence of simple
fractions eg fractions
equivalent to
¼, ½ ¾
Identify two simple
fractions with a total of
1
Comparing
and ordering
fractions
Operations
with fractions
Compare familiar
fractions eg know that
on a number line ½ lies
between¼ and ¾
Order simple fractions
eg decide if fractions
eg ⅝ and ⅜ are greater
than or less than
Change a fraction such
as 13/8 to the
equivalent mixed
number and vice versa
Order a set of
fractions and position
on a number line
Order fractions by
converting using a
common denominator &
position on a number
line
Relate fractions to
division & use division to
find simple fractions
including 10ths &
100ths, of numbers and
quantities
Reduce fractions to
simplest form by
cancelling common
factors in the
numerator/denomi
½
Begin to relate
fractions to division and
find simple fractions eg
½ ⅓ ¼ ⅛… of numbers
or quantities
Recognise when 2 simple
fractions are
equivalent, including
relating hundredths to
tenths ( eg 60/100 =
6/10)
Use a fraction as operator
to find fractions including
10ths & 100ths of
numbers or quantities
