Year 6 maths worksheet: Adding fractions
One of the big stumbling blocks in maths is working with fractions, especially addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The problem is caused by a lack of understanding of what a fraction actually means and how they can be manipulated to make the task easier. (Equivalent fractions being the key.) A common fault when adding fractions [...]
Year 6 Equivalent Fractions
Here is another page of equivalent fractions. One part of each pair of fractions is missing and the missing numerator or denominator needs to be entered. Remember, equivalent fractions are fractions which have the same overall value. One interesting way to check whether two fractions are equivalent is to carry out a couple of multiplications; [...]
Year 6 Maths Worksheet: Equivalent fractions
Understanding equivalent fractions is at the heart of understanding how fractions work. Much work needs to be done in earlier years to show that fractions such as 1/2 and 2/4 have the same value. This is usually done by colouring or shading parts of rectangles, circles. Two fractions which are equal in value we say [...]
Year 6 maths worksheet: adding fractions
My first addition of fractions page was very popular and I have had several requests for more, as it does take some time and re-inforcement to get the hang of this concept. I believe that adding fractions is one of the hardest topics for children to understand, mainly because it involves so many steps. Remember, [...]
Year 5 ordering fractions
Fractions always seem to cause problems for children who are less confident with their maths, often because they do not get enough practice with ordering and comparing fractions. This worksheet compares sixths and thirds by placing them in order on a number line as well as asking whether statements are true or false. A good [...]
Year 4 maths worksheets on fractions
Fractions form an important part of the maths for Year 4 children (aged 8/9) and often it turns out to be one of the hardest to get to grips with. One important aspect of this is to identify equivalent fractions (in other words, that a half is the same as two quarters or four tenths [...]
Year 6 Maths: Fractions
This is the second page where we look at questions such as: ‘How many sixths make two and a half?’ Children need to know that there are six sixths in one whole one and also need to understand equivalent fractions and that a half is equivalent to three sixths. Many children fail to grasp this [...]
Year 4 maths worksheet: Division with remainders
Here is another page where the remainders from division are written as fractions. Children need a good knowledge of tables to work out the division ‘in their heads’ and this is probably best suited to Year 4, aged8/9+ years old. The remainder goes on the top line (numerator) and the bottom number (denominator) is the [...]
Year 6 Maths: Fractions
Several different sets of skills and knowledge needed for these questions. Firstly knowledge of measurements eg that there are 1000 metres in a kilometre, 1000 ml in a litre etc, as well as a couple of Imperial measures thrown in as an extra challenge. Download “What_fraction_1”File Size: 61.99 KB
Year 6 Maths: Fractions
Here we have some quite tricky questions on fractions, suitable for Year 6. The key to these is to think carefully about how many parts or fractions of a number make one whole one and to understand equivalent fractions. Understanding equivalent fractions is the key to understanding fractions generally and it is a good start [...]
