Learning goals
- We are learning to compare and order fractions and mixed numerals using knowledge of factors and multiples and represent them on a number line.
- We are learning to compare, order and represent common fractions including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order.
- We are learning to compare fractions with related denominators and locate and represent them on a number line.
