Adding and Subtracting Fractions Worksheets x2 (Non-common multiple denominators)

Two worksheets that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to add and subtract fractions where there isn’t a common multiple denominator.

The first worksheet acts as an introduction with four different questions, the first of which is a recap of common multiple denominators. This then leads on to four challenge questions. This worksheet works well for an introductory lesson before going in more depth through the second worksheet.

Included as part of the second worksheet are 8 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different models, representations and question styles.

There is also an extension task that provides challenge with a further 4 questions.

Answers are also included for all questions.

Both worksheets also include a supported example which fades out modelling to provide initial scaffolding before supporting independence.

These worksheets can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.
