Number > Fractions

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Compare and order fractions with the same and related denominators including mixed numerals, applying knowledge of factors and multiples; represent these fractions on a number line.

What this means

Order fractions where the denominators are related e.g., halves, fourths and eighths. Place them on a number line.

  • Fraction walls focus on length as a model for ordering fractions. The length model can be linked to number lines.
