What’s included in the Year 6 Equivalent Fractions and Simplifying Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 6 Equivalent Fractions and Simplifying Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering using common factors to simplify fractions, including finding the highest common factor.

Developing

• Q1 identifying the fraction which will simplify to a given fraction when using denominators which are multiples of the numerator. Bar models included for support.
• Q2 completing the fractions so that they simplify to a given fraction. Using denominators which are multiples of the numerator. Bar models included for support.
• Q3 spotting the odd one out and explaining why when simplifying fractions using denominators which are multiples of the numerator. Bar models included for support.

Expected

• Q4 identifying the fraction which will simplify to a given fraction when using the highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12. Some pictorial support given.
• Q5 completing the fractions so that they simplify to a given fraction. Using the highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12.
• Q6 spotting the odd one out and explaining why when simplifying fractions using the highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12. Some pictorial support given.

Greater Depth

• Q7 identifying the fraction which will simplify to a given fraction when using the highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12 and introducing multiples of 20 and 25. No pictorial support given.
• Q8 completing the fractions so they simplify to a given fraction and then find one more fraction. Using highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12 and introducing multiples of 20 and 25. No pictorial support given.
• Q9 spotting the odd one out and explaining why when simplifying fractions using the highest common factors of the numerator and denominator. Involving multiples of any number up to 12 x 12 and introducing multiples of 20 and 25. No pictorial support given.

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
