Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Equivalent fractions

In the Max Maths Year 3 practice exercises, students are encouraged to develop their understanding of equivalent fractions and how to compare their sizes. The task at hand is to arrange given fractions in order from the greatest to the smallest and vice versa. For instance, in part (a), students must compare the fractions 1/3, 1/2, and 6/10 and place them in descending order. It's a practical exercise to help children visualise and determine the relative sizes of different fractions.

Similarly, part (b) challenges students to arrange the fractions 4/10, 2/4, and 2/3 from the largest to the smallest. In part (c), the task is reversed, and students are asked to order the fractions 1/4, 2/10, and 1/3 from the smallest to the greatest. Lastly, part (d) presents another set of fractions, 7/10, 3/4, and 2/3, which students must sequence from the least to the greatest. These exercises are designed to strengthen students' skills in identifying and comparing fractional values, which is a fundamental concept in mathematics. Students are directed to continue their practice on workbook pages 76 to 78 to further consolidate their learning.
