Elaborations
-
using different ways to add and subtract fractional amounts by subdividing different models of measurement attributes; for example, adding half an hour and three-quarters of an hour using a clock face, adding a 34 cup of flour and a 14 cup of flour, subtracting 34 of a metre from 2 14 metres
-
representing and solving addition and subtraction problems involving fractions by using jumps on a number line, or bar models, or making diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes
-
using materials, diagrams, number lines or arrays to show and explain that fraction number sentences can be rewritten in equivalent forms without changing the quantity, for example, 12+14 is the same as 24+14
