I'm absolutely certain that every Year 6 child wants to be able to divide any fraction by an integer, and so we've created this Year 6 Divide any Fraction by an Integer activity to help them achieve their dream. It's a supporting activity that can be used in class or as part of an intervention, and can be led by a supporting adult, as both a list of resources and a set of instructions are provided. The task comes in the form of a game to bring some lightness to the proceedings.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
