Text A fraction (like one half) can mean half of a measure or half of a collection: K–2 Year B – Unit 15

TLF ID A005497

This two-week unit develops student knowledge and skills in understanding that a fraction can mean half a collection or half a measure. Students are provided opportunities to engage in meaningful activities using repeated halving to explore halves, quarters or eighths; create and explore collections of objects that have or have not been divided into halves, quarters or eighths; share objects into smaller groups and recognise if the number in each group is equal or not; investigate division through sharing and grouping a collection, including leftovers.
