Our discussion problems are designed to get your children using their reasoning and problem-solving skills to develop their mathematical knowledge even further. Best used in groups or pairs, this Year 5 Subtract Two Mixed Numbers Discussion Problem asks children to subtract two mixed numbers in different contexts. To make things as easy as possible for you, we've included an answer page that gives an example answer for each question, though we do recommend letting your children mark their own work, or that of a partner.

Use after our other resources for this lesson to make sure children have a strong foundation of knowledge to build upon.
