Fractions Of Amounts Year 3 (Non-Unit Fractions)

Year 3 | Fractions lesson 2 | Fractions of amounts (Non - unit fractions) In this maths lesson we will learn how to find fractions of amounts using 'Non-unit fractions' A non -unit fraction is a fraction who's numerator (the number on the top) is greater than 1 therefore we might be looking for fractions such as 2/4 or 4/5 When learning how to find fractions of amounts we can look at the denominator (the number at the bottom of the fraction) to see how many equal groups we need to share our quantity into. For example if we have a questions such as: What is 2/4 of 20 We can look at the denominator (4) and see that we need to create 4 equal groups of 20. 4 equal groups of 20 would mean that in each group we have 5 Therefore the answer to 1/4 of 20 = 5 but! Our question was asking us for 2/4! we we would need to add up two equal groups which would give us 10!
