Representing Fractions Worksheets
Maths Resource Description
The "Representing Fractions Worksheets" from KS2Gems are educational resources crafted to assist Year 6 students in visualising and understanding fractions through various representations. The learning objective (LO) of these worksheets is to enable pupils to depict fractions in multiple forms. To achieve this, the worksheets provide different models such as fraction bars, circle models, and number lines. Each model serves as a tool to illustrate how fractions can partition a whole into equal parts, thereby helping students grasp the concept of parts of a group.
Fraction bars on the worksheets offer a tangible way for students to compare different fractions and see the proportion of each fraction relative to the whole. The circle model is another visual method where a circle is divided into equal segments, each representing a fraction of the whole. The number line is included as a linear representation, showing fractions as points along a line, which helps students understand the order and spacing of fractions in relation to each other. These diverse methods cater to various learning styles, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to comprehend and represent fractions effectively.
