Make equal groups. Find the fraction.
Start with six checks and three worked examples. Then practise 40 original questions as support fades toward independent work.
This is one untimed curriculum foundation, with original practice that gives feedback rather than a score prediction.
The lesson, full practice and four A4 student and answer editions open with a saved Year 7 goal and current learning access. Answer copies open only to accounts allowed to see answers.
Start with one equal group
The whole is 18 counters. Share them equally into six groups.
How the practice builds
- 1. Find your starting point. Six questions show whether the whole and equal groups are clear.
- 2. Follow the models. See how to find a part, rebuild a whole and find what remains.
- 3. Work together, then alone. Six guided and eight supported questions lead to twenty independent problems.
- 4. Come back later. Six retrieval questions revisit the idea after three, seven and fourteen days.

What this foundation covers
The National Assessment Program’s Year 7 numeracy descriptions include finding fractions of quantities. Its guidance says most questions draw on prior years of schooling.
This route uses the NSW Stage 3 unit-fractions lesson as a prior-learning foundation. It covers equal groups, a selected fraction, the remaining quantity and recovering the whole.
