This resource will help children understand how to subtract from mixed numbers using fractions with different denominators but not crossing into the previous whole number.

This Year 6 Subtract from a Mixed Number (Not Crossing the Whole) Varied Fluency worksheet gradually builds up application of this skill. Starting with visual models to help, children are then shown bar models to support further then given number tracks to help identify the lowest common denominator of two fractions. All answers are provided!

A reasoning and problem solving resource is also available to support this small step.
