I am a Primary Teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience and I am also a mathematics specialist with a Post Graduate Mathematics Degree. I have spent the past 3 years developing resources for key stage 2 children and teachers which have been used in a variety of schools. Many of the resources can be used individually, part of a lesson or whole units of work.

The resource is designed for Year 6 Teachers to support with the assessment, teaching and learning of Fractions, Decimals and Percentages.
**National Curriculum Objectives: **
use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form [for example, 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8
divide proper fractions by whole numbers [for example, 1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/6]
associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents [for
example, 0.375] for a simple fraction [for example, 3/8]
recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages,including in different contexts.
