Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether a statement is correct when comparing two fractions less than 1 where the denominator is double or half of the starting fraction. Draw a diagram to check.
Expected Explain whether a statement is correct when comparing two fractions less than 1 whose denominators are all multiples of the same number or have common numerators. Draw a diagram to check.
Greater Depth Explain whether a statement is correct when comparing two fractions less than 1 whose denominators are not direct multiples but have a common factor or have common numerators. Draw a diagram to check.
Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use digit cards to complete a more/less than statement comparing fractions less than 1 where the missing denominator is the same, double or half of the starting fractions.
Expected Use digit cards to complete a more/less than statement comparing fractions less than 1 where the missing denominators are all multiples of the denominator of the starting fraction.
Greater Depth Use digit cards to complete a more/less than statement comparing fractions less than 1 where the missing denominators are not direct multiples but have a common factor with the denominator of the starting fraction.
Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Find the mistake when ordering fractions less than 1 where the denominator is double or half of the starting fraction.
Expected Find the mistake when ordering fractions less than 1 whose denominators are all multiples of the same number.
Greater Depth Find the mistake when ordering fractions less than 1 whose denominators are not direct multiples but have a common factor.
Differentiation for Year 6 Compare and order (denominator):
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing and ordering unit fractions where denominators are direct multiples of the same number (for example 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and the common denominator is 8).
Expected Questions to support comparing and ordering fractions where denominators are not always direct multiples of the same number (for example 1/2, 1/5, 1/10 and the common denominator is 10).
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing and ordering fractions where denominators are not always direct multiples of the same number (for example 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 and the common denominator is 24).
