🎓 Fractions Through Sharing – Year 3 (ACARA Code : AC9M3N02)
🎯Focus:
– Learn fractions by sharing real objects – Use counters, pop sticks etc to see how equal sharing works
– Connect division to fractions – Sharing between 3, 4, or 5 people to show 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 of a collection
– Hands-on learning – Turn abstract fractions into concrete experiences for Year 3 students
💡 Key Ideas (Quick Guide)
- Equal sharing creates unit fractions: 3 people → each gets 1/3 of the collection, 4 people → each gets 1/4 and 5 people → each gets 1/5
- Division = fractions: Total items ÷ number of people = size of each share
- Practical application: Share toys, pencils, or counters to see fractions in real life
- Conceptual understanding: Each child receives the same amount to understand fairness and fractions
