National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (5F4) Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number

Mathematics Year 5: (5F2a) Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number [for example, 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 ]

Differentiation:

Set 1
Developing Given three equations with simple mixed numbers and fractions where the denominators are the same, determine which is the odd one out.
Secure Given three equations with mixed numbers and fractions where the denominators are multiples of the same number, determine which is the odd one out.
Mastery Given three equations with slightly more challenging mixed numbers and fractions where the denominators are not always multiples of the same number, determine which is the odd one out.

Set 2
Developing Finding a missing fraction, based on knowledge of halves, quarters and eighths, and the ability to make equivalent fractions from these.
Secure Finding a missing fraction, based on knowledge of fractions from thirds to twelfths, and the ability to make equivalent fractions from denominators that are multiples of the same number.
Mastery Finding a missing fraction, based on knowledge of fractions from thirds to ninety-ninths, and the ability to make equivalent fractions by finding the lowest common multiple of pairs of denominators.
