Thirty-six fraction calculations across three levels for Year 6 maths. Pupils start with related denominators like 1/2 + 1/4, move to unrelated pairs such as 3/4 - 2/5, then finish with mixed numbers and missing-value questions like ___ + 1/3 = 1/2. All three sections have answers included. Matched to the England National Curriculum objectives on equivalent fractions.
Number — fractions (including decimals and percentages)
“Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions”
The 36 questions grade from related denominators to mixed numbers.
Number — fractions (including decimals and percentages)
“Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination”
Every calculation needs a common denominator found first.
Twelve questions like 2/3 - 1/6 where one denominator is a multiple of the other.
Twelve questions with unrelated denominators, such as 1/3 + 1/4.
Twelve questions with mixed numbers and blanks, like 1 1/2 + 3/4.
