Fascinating Fact:

Money mini-example. Half of £1 is 50p. A quarter of £1 is 25p. Coins make neat numbers.

In KS1 Maths, pupils find simple fractions of numbers by sharing into equal groups and using number lines. Coins help: tens and fives make halves and quarters clear and quick.

Key Terms

  • Fraction: A way to show equal parts of a whole number, like 1/2 or 1/4.
  • Half (1/2): One of two equal parts; half of 12 is 6.
  • Quarter (1/4): One of four equal parts; a quarter of 20 is 5.

Practise first: try the Fractions Game before you start the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a fraction of a number in Year 2?

It means splitting a number into equal parts. For example, 1/2 of 14 is 7 because two equal groups of 7 make 14.

How do I find half or a quarter of a number?

For half, divide by 2. For a quarter, divide by 4. Use counters or draw groups to check your answer.

Why do coins help with fractions of numbers?

Coins come in tens and fives, so they split neatly. £1 becomes 50p + 50p for halves, or four 25p coins for quarters.
