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 2: (2F1b) Write simple fractions for example, 1/2 of 6 = 3

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 Unit Fractions:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support understanding unit fractions. Unit fractions correspond to single objects only (e.g. finding one third of three objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Expected Questions to support understanding unit fractions. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of nine objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Greater Depth Questions to support understanding unit fractions. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of eighteen objects) and objects are arranged at random.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Given a fraction of a total, calculate the total and the size of a different fraction of the same total. Unit fractions mostly correspond to single objects (e.g. finding one third of three objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Expected Given a fraction of a total, calculate the total and the size of a different fraction of the same total. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of nine objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Greater Depth Given a fraction of a total, calculate the total and the size of a different fraction of the same total. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of eighteen objects) and objects are arranged at random.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Calculate how many more objects to add to a total to make a fraction of the total worth a certain value. Unit fractions correspond to single objects only (e.g. finding one third of three objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Expected Calculate how many more objects to add to a total to make a fraction of the total worth a certain value. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of nine objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Greater Depth Calculate how many more objects to add to a total to make a fraction of the total worth a certain value. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of eighteen objects) and objects are arranged at random.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Prove whether a statement about fractions is true or false. Unit fractions correspond to single objects only (e.g. finding one third of three objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Expected Prove whether a statement about fractions is true or false. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of nine objects) and all objects are arranged in arrays.
Greater Depth Prove whether a statement about fractions is true or false. Unit fractions correspond to multiple objects (e.g. finding one third of eighteen objects) and objects are arranged at random.
