National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 2: (2F1a) Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3 , 1/4 , 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity

Mathematics Year 3: (3F1a) Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10

Differentiation for Year 2 Make Equal Parts:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing and making equal and non-equal parts. Dividing shapes (squares, rectangles and circles), objects and groups into 2 parts. Groups of objects are arranged in arrays.
Expected Questions to support comparing and making equal and non-equal parts. Dividing shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles and circles), objects and groups into up to 4 parts. Groups of objects are arranged in arrays and at random.
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing and making equal and non-equal parts. Dividing a variety of shapes, objects and groups into up to 4 parts and beyond. Groups of objects are arranged at random.
