Encourage deep discussion to develop reasoning and problem-solving skills with this Year 5 Add Fractions with a Total Greater than 1 Discussion Problem. The questions are designed to be solved in small groups or partners with a focus on discussing methods of working out and the answers children arrive at. An answer page that includes an example answer for each question is also included, but your children may find different answers. Let your class mark their own work to promote even more discussion and self-correction.

Be sure to use our other resources for this lesson before this resource, as these questions are much trickier than your standard question.
