Ensure children are ready to take on the Year 5 Using Fractions as Operators step by recapping key skills with this Year 5 Using Fractions as Operators resource. The resource is made up of questions from three previous steps: Year 5 Multiplying Unit Fractions by an Integer, Year 5 Multiply Non-Unit Fractions by an Integer and Year 5 Find Fractions of Amounts - all of which should help children approach the Using Fractions as Operators step. The questions can be cut up and used individually or as part of the whole sheet.
