13.06.19 LO: To order fractions By the end of the lesson you will be able to: Understand the where to put certain fractions How important it is to check the denominators How important it is to check the numerators
Real Life An definition of a fraction is a numerical quantity that is not a whole number (e.g. 1/2, 0.5).
Vocabulary needed: Numerator – the number above the line in a vulgar fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken, for example, 2 in 2/3. Denominator – the number below the line in a vulgar fraction; a divisor. Order – Can you tell me how much liquid is in the container? Vulgar fraction - a fraction expressed by numerator and denominator, not decimally. Explain to the students that the maximum amount of liquid your cup can hold is called its Capacity Volume: How much liquid is in the container
What rule did we say yesterday about fractions in the deepen? Think pair share. The bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. This rule should help us, but we have to be careful. You may need your whiteboards for this next bit! Children to put the statements next to the correct thing
Order Unit Fractions Ruby has drawn 4 rectangles of the same size. How could she divide and shade the rectangles to show how to order some unit fractions from smallest to largest? 1 3 Discuss your ideas with a partner. Choose 4 unit fractions and demonstrate. 1 8 1 5 1 6
Order Fractions with the Same Denominator Mariam has drawn 4 circles of the same size. How could she divide and shade the circles to show how to order some fractions with the same denominator from smallest to largest? 3 8 1 8 Discuss your ideas with a partner. Choose 4 fractions and demonstrate. 7 8 5 8
Using these fractions, put them in order smallest to largest. 3 8 1 8 7 8 5 8
I do:
We do: Put these fractions in order smallest to biggest. 2/8, 3/8, 1/8, 4/8 Put these fractions in order biggest to smallest. ¼, 1/3, ½, ¼, 1/5
You do: Put these fractions in order smallest to biggest. 2/6, 3/6 , 6/6, 5/6 Put these fractions in order biggest to smallest. ¼, 1/6, ½, ¼, 1/8
Rehearse: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
Rehearse answers. 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 11/12, 10/12, 8/12, 6/12, 4/12 1/9, 3/9, 4/9, 7/9, 9/9 4/4, 2/3, ½ and 2/4 (1/2 and 2/4 are the same) 4/6 is the smallest.

Deepen: Using equal sized strips of paper fold them into equal parts and shade one part. With another piece of paper do the same amount of equal parts but shade 2 of them and so on. Order them and explain to each other what they can see. Create a rule as a class for everyone. Deepen: Using equal sized strips of paper fold them into equal parts and shade one part.
