In this Year 6 Mixed Addition and Subtraction Reasoning and Problem Solving resource, children can answer a range of differentiated questions. The resource begins with fractions whose denominators are direct multiples of the same number, and progresses to using fractions whose denominators are not direct multiples. An answer page has been included with this resource, so the hard work is done for you!

Use as part of your lesson, as an intervention, or send out as homework; the choice is yours.
