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: (3F1b) Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators

Differentiation for Year 2 Recognise a Quarter:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support recognising a quarter of objects and shapes (including circles and squares), using a vertical and horizontal line and beginning to use the fraction 1/4.
Expected Questions to support recognising a quarter of lengths, groups of objects and shapes (including circles, triangles and quadrilaterals) when the quarter is shown using diagonal, horizontal or vertical lines; using the fraction 1/4.
Greater Depth Questions to support recognising a quarter in lengths, mixed objects and shapes (including circles, triangles, quadrilaterals and polygons) when the half is shown using a mixture of lines; using the fraction 1/4.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain which shape (using circles and squares) has one quarter shaded.
Expected Explain which shape (using circles, triangles and quadrilaterals) has one quarter shaded.
Greater Depth Explain which shape (using circles and polygons) does not have one quarter shaded.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Shade parts of a given shape to show different ways to represent one quarter. Using circles and squares divided into 4 equal parts.
Expected Shade parts of a given shape to show different ways to represent one quarter. Using triangles and quadrilaterals divided into 4 equal parts.
Greater Depth Shade parts of a given shape to show different ways to represent one quarter. Using polygons divided into 4 equal parts.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain which is the odd one out (using circles, squares and groups of objects).
Expected Explain which is the odd one out (using circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, groups of objects and fractions).
Greater Depth Explain which is the odd one out (using circles, polygons, groups of objects and fractions).

Differentiation for Year 3 Fractions of an Amount 1:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support using known division facts to find the unit fraction of an amount. Amounts are multiples of 2, 5, and 10 with answers up to 5 times the denominator. Pictorial support and no exchanging.
Expected Questions to support using known division facts to find the unit fraction of an amount. Using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 with answers up to 12 times the denominator. Pictorial support and some exchanging.
Greater Depth Questions to support using known division facts to find the unit fraction of an amount. Using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 with answers beyond 12 times the denominator (using known times tables facts). Some pictorial support and some exchanging.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain the mistake when finding a unit fraction of an amount using groups and place value counters. No exchanging needed. Using multiples of 2, 5, and 10 and answers up to 5 times the denominator.
Expected Explain the mistake when finding a unit fraction of an amount using groups and place value counters. Exchanging sometimes needed. Using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 and answers up to 12 times the denominator.
Greater Depth Explain the mistake when finding a unit fraction of an amount using groups and place value counters. Exchanging needed. Using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 and answers beyond 12 times the denominator (using known times tables facts).

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Complete the missing number in a statement using multiples of 2, 5, and 10 and answers up to 5 times the denominator.
Expected Complete the missing number in a statement using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 and answers up to 12 times the denominator.
Greater Depth Complete two missing numbers in a statement using multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 and answers beyond 12 times the denominator (using known times tables facts).

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Determine the whole when given a quantity up to 5 that is one half, one fifth or one tenth.
Expected Determine the whole when given a quantity up to 5 that is one third, one quarter or one eighth.
Greater Depth Determine the whole when given a quantity up to 10 that is one third, one quarter or one eighth.
