National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (5F4) Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number

Mathematics Year 6: (6F4) Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions

Differentiation for Year 5 Add 3 or more fractions:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support adding 3 fractions together where 2 denominators are the same and the other denominator is either double or halve.
Expected Questions to support adding 3 or more fractions together where denominators are direct multiples of each other.
Greater Depth Questions to support adding 3 or more fractions together where denominators are not direct multiples of each other but have a common factor.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Add 3 fractions together where 2 denominators are the same and the other denominator is either double or half.
Expected Add 3 fractions together where denominators are direct multiples of each other in order to compare.
Greater Depth Add 3 or more fractions together where denominators are not direct multiples of each other but have a common factor in order to compare.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Follow the clues to identify which 3 fractions have been added to together to total a given answer. 2 denominators are the same and the other denominator is either double or half.
Expected Follow the clues to identify which 3 fractions have been added to together to total a given answer. Denominators are direct multiples of each other.
Greater Depth Follow the clues to identify which 3 fractions have been added to together to total a given answer. Denominators are not direct multiples of each other but have a common factor.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Identify and explain errors when adding 3 fractions together where 2 denominators are the same and the other denominator is either double or half.
Expected Identify and explain errors when adding 3 or more fractions together where denominators are direct multiples of each other.
Greater Depth Identify and explain errors when adding 3 or more fractions together where denominators are not direct multiples of each other but have a common factor.

Differentiation for Year 6 Adding fractions:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support adding fractions, where some denominators are direct multiples of the same number (for example 1/2 + 1/4).
Expected Questions to support adding mixed numbers where denominators are direct multiples of the same number and fractions or improper fractions where the denominator is not a direct multiple of the same number (for example 2 1/2 + 2 3/8, or 4/3 + 1/4).
Greater Depth Questions to support adding mixed numbers, fractions and improper fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number (for example 3 1/5 + 2 1/3).

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Identify a starting fraction by adding fractions where denominators are direct multiples of the same number. Given answer is less than 1.
Expected Identify a starting fraction by adding fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number. Given answer is a mixed number.
Greater Depth Identify a starting mixed number by adding mixed numbers where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number. Given answer is an improper fraction.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Identify and explain a mistake when adding fractions, where denominators are direct multiples of the same number.
Expected Identify and explain a mistake when adding improper fractions and fractions, where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number.
Greater Depth Identify and explain a mistake when adding mixed numbers and improper fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Choose the correct fractions to make a statement correct when adding fractions, where denominators are direct multiples of the same number. Four fractions to choose from.
Expected Choose the correct fractions to make a statement correct when adding improper fractions and fractions where denominators are direct multiples of the same number. Four fractions to choose from.
Greater Depth Choose the correct fractions to make a statement correct when adding improper fractions and fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number. Five fractions to choose from. Answer format in mixed numbers.
