Now that children are becoming increasingly familiar with how to find a fraction of an amount, why not use this resource to deepen that understanding?

This Year 6 Fraction of an Amount Reasoning and Problem Solving resource focuses on using known times table facts up to 12 x 12 to find fractions of amounts. Children will reason if real-life answers are correct or not and why, then find who has the most of a given amount using fractions. Finally, they will find solutions to a calculation using given numbers. All answers are provided!

A varied fluency worksheet is also available for this small step, as is a fluency matrix to consolidate learning.
