Differentiation for Year 3 Fractions on a Number Line:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support using a number line to represent fractions greater than one using halves, thirds and quarters. All divisions on the number line are marked and labelled. Images given to support.
Expected Questions to support using a number line to represent fractions greater than one using various fractions up to tenths. All divisions on the number line are marked and labelled. No images given.
Greater Depth Questions to support using a number line to represent fractions greater than one using various fractions up to tenths. Not all divisions on the number line are marked or labelled for the given fraction. No images given.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Create and use a number line to represent fractions more than one. Counting forwards only, using halves, thirds and quarters.
