Block 2: Fractions Year 1 for Summer Term

Fractions in Year 1 is limited to understanding halves and quarters. At first children will explore shapes, dividing them into two equal parts and then moving on to small quantities or sets of objects. Plenty of practical work needed here. Quarters are also introduced, again mainly in a practical way, sharing sets of objects into 4 equal parts, colouring a quarter of shapes etc. We have included some great sets of worksheets giving children plenty of practice working with halves and quarters as well as later moving on to counting in halves.
