This Year 6 Subtracting Fractions lesson covers the prior learning of subtracting proper fractions from mixed numbers where the denominators are direct multiples of one another, before moving onto the main skill of subtracting two mixed numbers where the denominators are not direct multiples.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
