Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1. Use several pictorial representations (or card cut outs) to introduce unit fractions like half, thirds, fifths, tenths, etc. and ask learners to identify the fractions A, B, C, D, and E E.g.2. Introduce the fraction notation by explaining the fraction one-half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole is partitioned into 2 equal parts and is represented by 1/2; ask learners to write symbols for the fractions A, B, C, D, and E
E.g. 3. Ask learners to match pictorial representations of fractions to their symbols
E.g. 4. Use several pictorial representations (or card cut outs) to introduce multiples of unit fractions like thirds, fifths, tenths, etc., show the notations 2/5, 3/8, 4/12, etc. and ask learners to draw and label fractions with their symbols.
E.g. 5. Ask learners to colour given fractions in given shapes with equal portions or match fractions to shaded regions. The fractions in the indicator text and in E.g. 2 and E.g. 4 are set as stacked numerator over denominator; they are written here inline as 1/f, 1/2, 2/5, 3/8 and 4/12.
