Fascinating Fact:

Chocolate bars often come divided into equal pieces, so breaking off 4 squares out of 12 means you ate one third.

In KS2 Maths, Year 3 pupils begin to understand fractions as equal parts of a whole. They practise recognising, naming, and finding simple fractions in shapes and numbers.

  • Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction showing the total number of parts.
