Today we are going to be counting in fractions. Remember that fractions are parts that add up together to make a whole.
So we can add the whole pieces first, to get our whole number. Then, we add our part pieces to see how many more we have. Go through the Let’s Learn and Guided Practise of each chapter to see if you can have a go.
When we did this in class, the number line questions were very confusing. Have another go doing them as I think you’ll be able to do them more confidently now. Just remember, it is like a normal number line with the whole numbers, and then the fractions go in between because they make up part of the whole number.
Watch this video that helps to explain counting in halves on a number line:
*If you’re not too sure what to do, go back and do worksheet 9 in this chapter, which explains it again and gives you more activities to practise.
*If you are feeling confident, click here to go onto White Rose Maths. Open the Summer Term Week 1 and then Lesson 2 Count in Fractions for another lesson on counting in fractions, or just click here for the worksheet.
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I did my maths hw. It was ok.
Greetings,
Sophia
Excellent Sophia! Did you try the White Rose Maths lesson?
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I found the fraction number lines hard but have done the questions in my book with some help.
from Jack
They are hard Jack, so don’t worry too much. I’m really impressed that you kept trying and managed to complete it. Well done!
Good morning Miss,
I did my maths.
Bye, Bo
Well done Bo! Did you try the White Rose Maths lesson?
Thanks Miss. All done.
Well done Finley!
Dear Miss,
All maths done including white rose lesson and worksheet.
The last question on the white rose sheet was quite tricky but the rest was easy.

Nadine
I’m glad you had a bit of a challenge to solve Nadine! Well done!
Hello Miss I am done and it was very easy. I am going to do mathletics after my blogs.
Brilliant Marisa!
Dear Miss Carruthers, I finished the worksheets and the White Rose Maths . I found it quite difficult today .
Well done for doing the White Rose Maths as well! Keep practising, it will get easier!
miss I completed my worksheets but the number line was so hard.
It is hard, don’t worry! We can do more practise on it. It can be hard to picture it when it is just the numbers on a number line. Try drawing out the shapes and shading them in to help you.
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I have completed the worksheets.
Well done!
I finished.
Well done!
I’ve completed my worksheets and the white rose challenge. I found it OK.
Well done for trying the challenge!
Good afternoon Miss Carruthers!
We finished all our math homework and we uploaded the practice from White Rose Math. We needed help with the number 7.
Well done girls. Using the number line for fractions is quite hard to work out. Does it make sense to you now?
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I finished all my worksheets and they were ok. I like fractions.
I’m glad you liked them Marie!
