Equivalent fractions - 3 differentiated worksheets
In these three worksheets, children develop their understanding of
equivalent fractions within 1, mainly through exploring bar models.
Children begin by finding equivalent fractions by splitting up models into smaller parts in a range of different ways. The key learning point is that as long as each of the existing parts are split equally into the same number of smaller parts, then the fractions will be equivalent. A common misconception is that children believe they can only split up existing parts into two equal sections, which limits the number of equivalent fractions that they will find.
Children begin to use fraction walls to help create equivalent fraction families.

Core worksheet - with answer sheet
Add and Subtract Fractions Higher
Use this worksheet to stretch children’s understanding of adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, and
denominators that are multiples of the same number.
This worksheet is aimed at those working at greater depth.
Children add and subtract fractions and give the answer in a simplified form.
Answer sheet attached.
Comparing and Ordering Fractions Higher
Use this worksheet to stretch children’s understanding of comparing and ordering fractions with denominators that are multiples. If equivalent fractions are needed, then one denominator will be a multiple of the other or others.
This worksheet includes a challenge to help deepen children’s understanding and problem-solving skills.
Bar models, fraction walls and number lines will still be useful to help children to see the relative sizes of the fractions, especially when conversions are needed.
Children should look at the set of fractions as a whole before deciding their approach, as comparing numerators could still be a better strategy for some sets of fractions.
Answer sheet included.

Comparing and Ordering Fractions
In these three worksheets, children build on their knowledge of ordering a set of three or more fractions.
If equivalent fractions are needed, then one denominator will be a multiple of the other or others.

Long Division word problems Higher
Use this worksheet to stretch children’s understanding of long division.
This worksheet is aimed at those working at greater depth.
Children divide 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.
They are challenged by word problems and sometimes extra
unnecessary information.

Area of rectilinear shapes Foundation
Use this worksheet to help children understand an area by counting the squares.
The worksheet is aimed at those working towards the target.
In this worksheet, children use the strategy of counting the number of squares inside a shape to find its area.
Ask,
What can you do to make sure you do not count
a square twice?
How can you make sure you do not miss a square?
Does your knowledge of times-tables help you to find
the area?
Can you use arrays to find the area of any shape?
Includes answer sheet.
