These exercises and activities are for students to use independently of the teacher to practice number properties.
Proportions and Ratios, EA (Stage 5)
Halving as the opposite of doubling may be a worthwhile piece of learning that can develop from discussions around the answers to exercise 3, where students are just halving numbers.
Remember that students who have not reached stage 6 in the "basic facts" domain have not learned all of their basic multiplication facts, so a multiplicative strategy based purely on the numbers may not work for all students.
Exercise 1
Asks students to solve word problems that involve finding unit fractions of a set.
Exercise 2
Asks students to solve word problems. These word problems are more complex than Exercise 1. Students are asked to identify the fraction and then the answer.
Exercise 3
Asks students to solve a set of problems that asks them to find one half of a number.
Exercise 4
Asks students to solve a set of problems that asks them to find one third of a number.
Exercise 5
Asks students to solve a set of problems that asks them to find one quarter of a number.
