National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (5F2b) Identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths

Mathematics Year 6: (6F2) Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination

Differentiation for Year 5 Equivalent fractions:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support finding fractions equivalent to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 using pictorial representations.
Expected Questions to support finding equivalent fractions of fractions where the numerator is 1 or 2, using pictorial representations. Using knowledge of times tables.
Greater Depth Questions to support finding equivalent fractions of unit and non-unit fractions using pictorial representations. Using knowledge of times tables and partitioning to multiply.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Describe an error in a model of equivalents fractions of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 using pictorial representations.
Expected Describe an error in a model of equivalents of fractions where the numerator is 1 or 2, and denominators multiples of numbers up to 12, using pictorial representations.
Greater Depth Describe an error in a model of equivalent fractions of unit and non-unit fractions using pictorial representations.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Correct errors when calculating equivalent fractions of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5.
Expected Correct errors when calculating equivalent fractions, using fractions with numerators of 1 or 2 and denominators multiples of numbers up to 12.
Greater Depth Correct errors when calculating equivalent fractions of unit and non-unit fractions.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Find 2 possibilities for a missing function used to create an equivalent fractions of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 (resulting denominator and original numerator given).
Expected Find 3 possibilities for a missing function used to create an equivalent of fractions where the numerator is 1 or 2 (resulting denominator and original numerator given)
Greater Depth Find 3 or more possibilities for a missing function used to create an equivalent fractions of unit and non-unit fractions (resulting denominator and original numerator given).

Differentiation for Year 6 Simplify fractions:
