Are your class smashing their fractions work? Give them this Year 4 Calculate a Fraction of a Quantity Discussion Problem as a challenge! It includes two in-depth questions that are designed to get children talking about their methods of working out and the answers they have come up with. An answer page has also been included, and we suggest letting your class mark their own work, or that of a partner, to encourage even more discussion and self-correction.

Be sure to use our other resources for this lesson as well, as our discussion problems are trickier than your standard question. We have resources for fluency, reasoning and problem solving, and much more!
