FRACTIONS
STAGE 3 (GRADE 2)

 3Nn15 Understand and use fraction notation recognising that fractions are several parts of one whole, e.g.
3/4 is three quarters and 2/3 is two thirds

 3Nn16 Recognise equivalence between 1/2, 2/4, 4/8 and 5/10 using diagrams

 3Nn17 Recognise simple mixed fractions, e.g. 1 1/2 and 2 1/4

 3Nn18 Order simple or mixed fractions on a number line ,e.g. using the knowledge that 1/2 comes half
way between 1/4 and 3/4 and that 1 1/2 comes half way between 1 and 2

 3Nn19 Begin to relate finding fractions to division

 3Nn20 Find halves, thirds, quarters and tenths of shapes and numbers (whole number answers)
