Mathematics Assessment Map – Sample at 2.25
Fraction wall
Context
Students used the Fraction Wall (shown below) to find out which of these fractions on the worksheet were more than 1/2 and which fractions were less than 1/2 . They wrote the words ‘more than 1/2 ’ or ‘less than 1/2’ underneath each of the fractions on the worksheet.
The elements of the Number standard addressed by the task are:
(Students) develop fraction notation and compare simple common fractions such as 3/4 > 2/3 using physical models.
