Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1. Use pictorial representations to illustrate the simplest form of a fraction; e.g. 6/12 = 3/6 = 1/2
E.g. 2. Find the simplest form of a given fraction, divide through by the highest common factor.
E.g. 3. Find the simplest form of a given fraction, express the numerator and denominators as factors and cancel through common factors.

E.g. 3. To find the simplest form of a given fraction, express the numerator and denominators as factors and divide through by common factors.
The document prints E.g. 2 and E.g. 3 twice for this indicator: once on printed p.21 and again (E.g. 2 at the foot of p.21, E.g. 3 at the head of p.22) with slightly different wording. Both printings are kept, in page order. The fractions are stacked and are written inline.
