You'd think adding two fractions together was enough, but here we are adding three (or MORE!!) fractions together. It's the Year 5 Add 3 or More Fractions step, and here we have a Year 5 Add 3 or More Fractions discussion problem. What's a discussion problem? Well, it's a problem-solving question, placed in a real-world context, that encourages children to think methodically or systematically about a question, all-the-while using mathematical language to discuss the problem with whomever they are collaborating. So there we go. This one specifically focuses on adding three or more fractions, and comes with an answer sheet, either for teacher marking, or peer marking. Have a(n equal) piece of that.
