Fractions - Order Fractions (Less Than One) - Worksheet

The "Order Fractions – Less Than One" worksheet is an educational resource from masterthecurriculum.co.uk, designed to help children with their understanding of fractions. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to compare and order fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number. Students will utilize differentiated sheets and teaching slides to aid their learning. The key vocabulary terms for this lesson include 'compare', 'order', 'equivalent', 'less than 1', 'denominator', 'numerator', and 'common'. The worksheet encourages students to build on their knowledge of equivalent fractions, using bar models to visually compare and order fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number, and to find a common denominator or numerator to assist in this process.

Children are asked to engage with a variety of tasks, such as ordering three or more fractions and placing them on a number line. The worksheet provides a range of exercises, including ordering fractions in ascending or descending order and reasoning and problem-solving activities that require the identification and correction of mistakes in the ordering of fractions. The worksheet is tailored to accommodate different levels of learning, from 'Working Towards' to 'Working Within' and 'Greater Depth'. The exercises challenge students to use their skills in comparing fractions by finding common denominators or numerators and to apply their understanding of fraction sizes when arranging them in order.
