Elaborations
cutting objects such as oranges or sandwiches into quarters and counting by quarters to find the total number, and saying the counting sequence ‘one-quarter, two-quarters, three-quarters, four-quarters or one-whole, five-quarters or one-and-one-quarter, six-quarters or one-and-two-quarters … eight-quarters or two-wholes ...’
subdividing the sections between whole numbers on parallel number lines so that one shows halves, another shows quarters and one other shows thirds; and counting the fractions by jumping along the number lines, and noticing when the count is at the same position on the parallel lines
converting mixed numerals into improper fractions and vice versa, and representing mixed numerals on a number line
using a number line to represent and count in tenths, recognising that 10 tenths is equivalent to one
