WS01 - Fractions

Mathematics, Year 2

By the end of Year 2, students order and represent numbers to at least 1000, apply knowledge of place value to partition, rearrange and rename two- and three-digit numbers in terms of their parts, and regroup partitioned numbers to assist in calculations. They use mathematical modelling to solve practical additive and multiplicative problems, including money transactions, representing the situation and choosing calculation strategies. Students identify and represent part-whole relationships of halves, quarters and eighths in measurement contexts. They describe and continue patterns that increase and decrease additively by a constant amount and identify missing elements in the pattern. Students recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition and subtraction facts within 20 and multiplication facts for twos. 

 

They use uniform informal units to measure and compare shapes and objects. Students determine the number of days between events using a calendar and read time on an analog clock to the hour, half hour and quarter hour. They compare and classify shapes, describing features using formal spatial terms. Students locate and identify positions of features in two-dimensional representations and move position by following directions and pathways. 

 

They use a range of methods to collect, record, represent and interpret categorical data in response to questions. 

Number

AC9M2N03

recognise and describe one-half as one of 2 equal parts of a whole and connect halves, quarters and eighths through repeated halving

Algebra

AC9M2A02

recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition facts to 20; extend and apply facts to develop related subtraction facts

Measurement

AC9M2M02

identify common uses and represent halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events

Annotations

 

1. Creates representations of quarters and eighths through repeated halving.  

 

2. Creates different representations of one-half through folding and cutting paper into two equal parts. 

3. Represents the part-whole relationships in linear model drawings. 

 

4. Formulates number sentences to represent the additive relationships.

5. Represents part-whole relationships in area models. 

 

6. Connects the number name and relevant symbol to the fractional parts of the whole.
