Year 6 Maths: Fractions SATS Guide

A set of PPT slides which act as a guide for teachers and children alike for fractions in Year 6 for SATS. In this guide each fractions based objective from the UK National Curriculum is covered to ensure that your class is prepared for SATS in Year 6. These objectives are shown as visual representations which can be embedded in your whole class teaching, on a display board in the classroom or as a printable scaffold for children to use on the tables.

Objectives covered in this guide include:

1. Recognising fractions from a shaded area.
2. Finding equivalent fractions.
3. Using equivalent fractions to find simplified fractions.
4. Comparing fractions with similar and different denominators.
5. Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator.
6. Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators.
7. Finding fractions of amounts.
8. Converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
9. Multiplying fractions by fractions and whole numbers.
10. Dividing fractions by whole numbers.

For each of the above objective the resource outlines the title of the page and uses numerical and visual representations so that the children can understand what to do. As well as this there are easy to follow steps which can be referred to when modelling to pupils or which pupils can refer to when they are working independently.

How I use this resource: This resource has 10 different objectives and can be used in different ways. This can be used as a display pack and printed, in colour, so that children can refer to the different scaffolds. This resource can also be used within your maths slides themselves, as a clear step to step guide for teachers on how to model. Finally, this pack could be printed and given to the children to take home to support home learning or on tables as an independent scaffold.
