What’s included in the Year 6 Add and Subtract Simple Fractions Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 6 Add and Subtract Simple Fractions Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators using a lowest common denominator.

Developing

• Q1 working out the lowest common denominator to decide who is correct (where denominators are direct multiples of the same number).
• Q2 matching the calculations to the correct answer using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are direct multiples of the same number.
• Q3 checking the calculations and explaining whether the statement is correct using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are direct multiples of the same number.

Expected

• Q4 working out the lowest common denominator to decide who is correct (where denominators are not always direct multiples of the same number).
• Q5 matching the calculations to the correct answer using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are not always direct multiples of the same number.
• Q6 completing the calculations and explaining whether the statement is correct using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are not always direct multiples of the same number.

Greater Depth

• Q7 working out the lowest common denominator to decide who is correct (where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number).
• Q8 matching the calculations to the correct answer using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number.
• Q9 completing the calculations and explaining whether the statement is correct using knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions where denominators are not direct multiples of the same number.
