What does the Year 3 Fractions block include?
This block helps children understand fractions as numbers. Pupils learn to identify unit and non-unit fractions, explore numerators and denominators, and represent fractions on number lines and using bar models. The block also introduces equivalence and comparisons of fractions with the same denominator.
How do pupils develop their understanding of fractions?
Children are supported through a combination of practical tasks, visual representations, and progressive small steps. They use number lines, scales, and diagrams to build fluency in recognising fractions as parts of a whole and as quantities.
Is this block aligned with the White Rose progression?
Yes – this block follows the Spring Block 3 sequence from White Rose Maths. All lessons support curriculum objectives and mastery approaches, ensuring full coverage of the statutory fraction content for Year 3.
