Lower Fraction Cards
This visual display was designed for lower primary showing the concept of quarters, halves and one whole. The Lower Fraction Cards show the connection between a quarter, one half and one whole. They are also introduced to the mathematical symbols associated with each fraction.

Learning goals
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to identify one half as two equal parts of a whole.
- We are learning to recognise halves, quarters and eighths of a whole and connect halves, quarters and eighths through repeated halving.
- We are learning to use halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events in everyday situations, e.g. cutting a pizza, cup and spoon measures.
- We are learning to recognise halves, quarters and eighths of an object and to understand that a group of objects can be separated to show halves, quarters and eighths of the group.
