Looking to practise subtracting fractions but in need of a range of different worksheets? Save time and download our KS2 Subtracting Fractions Word Problems resource. Differentiated to 6 different levels, our questions range from subtracting fractions with the same denominator and different denominators, to subtracting fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers. We like to encourage mathematical discussion, therefore we've included the answers for peer assessment (and to save you time!).
Curriculum Objectives
- Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ]
- Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator
- Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number [for example, 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 ]
- Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number
- Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
- Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
