LI: Identify and recognise equivalent fractions and show fractions on a number line.
Numbers can be described in many different ways including as fractions.
The whole is important in naming fractions. A fraction is relative
to the size of the whole or unit.
A comparison of a part to the whole can be represented using a
fraction.
A fraction describes the division of a whole (region, set, segment) into equal parts.
The bottom number in a fraction tells how many equal parts the
whole or unit is divided into. The top number tells how many
equal parts are indicated.

LI: Divide whole numbers into fractions and compare their value.
Denominators tell us the number of parts the whole has been divided into. For example, if three people are sharing a pie, the pie would need to be divided equally in three pieces.
Numerators tell us the number of divided pieces. For example, the amount of pie two people have will be two pieces of three equally shared pieces.
