Understanding fractions (age 9+)
Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps; critique others' reasoning about fractions, angles, or calculations and clearly explain errors or alternative methods
Typical age: 9–10 years
“If your child and a classmate solve the same maths problem differently, can your child compare the two approaches, explain which method is more efficient, and identify any errors in either working?”

Needs first
- Measuring angles (age 9+)
Unknown angle problems exercise constructing chains of reasoning
- Justifying mathematical reasoning (age 8+)REQUIRED
Age 8-9 constructing arguments is prerequisite to age 9-10 level
- Comparing fractions (age 9+)
Comparing fractions with different denominators requires constructing logical arguments
- Learning from Mistakes
Critiquing others' mathematical reasoning and explaining errors applies the universal error-analysis habit to peer arguments
