Help children to grasp a clear understanding of fractions on a number line with this ready-to-complete Year 6 Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line resource. We've created four different question types for children to practise the skills required for this objective and there are two opportunities per question style. This resource has been differentiated three ways to support all learners. Below is a brief outline of how each level of differentiation differs per level of challenge:

Developing: Questions to support placing and comparing fractions less than 1 on a number line. Denominators are direct multiples.

Expected: Questions to support placing and comparing fractions on a number line whose denominator are multiples of each other. Some use of improper fractions and mixed numbers less than 2.

Greater Depth: Questions to support placing and comparing fractions on a number line whose denominators are not multiples of each other and may require simplifying. Some use of improper fractions and mixed numbers less than 2.

Use this resource as an independent learning activity for children to showcase their skills. Alternatively, this could be used in a small intervention group to either challenge children further or to provide more support to those who need it. A fully explained and modelled answer sheet has been provided to aid marking or this could be used for peer or self marking too.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
  • Compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
