Game Objectives

New Maths Curriculum:

Year 4: Recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths

Year 4: Recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4; 1/2; 3/4

Year 5: Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other

Year 5: Read and write decimal numbers as fractions (e.g. 0.71 = 71/100)

Year 5: Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents

Year 6: Associate a fraction with division to calculate decimal fraction equivalents (e.g. 0.375) for a simple fraction (e.g. 3/8)

Year 6: Recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.

Primary Framework:

Year 3:

Read and write proper fractions interpreting the denominator as the parts of a whole and the numerator as the number of parts; identify and estimate fractions of shapes; use diagrams to compare fractions and establish equivalents

Year 4:

Use diagrams to identify equivalent fractions; interpret mixed numbers and position them on a number line (e.g. 31/2)

Year 5:

Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one (e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is 5/8); find equivalent fractions (e.g. 7/10 = 14/20, or 19/10 = 19/10); relate fractions to their decimal representations
