Allow children to apply their fractions knowledge with this Year 6 Fraction of an Amount - Find the Whole Reasoning and Problem Solving resource. In this activity, children will encounter two reasoning style questions and a problem-solving style question covering the objectives in this lesson. We've given two examples of each type of question to help children build their confidence too. No need to spend time differentiating as we've already included that for you.

Use this resource as an independent task following a set of varied fluency questions; also available in this lesson. Alternatively, this can be used as a paired or small group activity to encourage mathematical thinking and reasoning skills. A handy answer sheet is provided for peer or self-assessment, or simply use it to power through your marking in no time.
