Each one has an increasing difficulty of common denominator.
2 | Adding and subtracting fractions
Author: Andy Lutwyche
This sheet lets students pick the section on which they need more work, from plain old fractions, through functional plain old fractions, through mixed numbers, through functional mixed numbers.
There are no bells, whistles, or anything like that, just a load of questions.
There is, however, a ‘Prove It’ sheet so that your class can show you what they can now do.
3 | Fractions of an amount treasure hunt
Author: David Morse
This activity requires students to work out factions of an amount when the numerator is not ‘1’. Deciphering the encrypted clue reveals where the treasure is hidden! It is great for consolidation or revision.

This is an introduction bingo game on finding the fraction shaded on a diagram.
5 | Fractions of an amount loop cards
Author: David Morse
These reusable cards are excellent for one-to-one tutorials and interventions. They are also great when working with small groups or as a starter/plenary for a whole class.
This particular set allows students to practise working out fractions of quantities when the numerator of the fraction is not ‘1’.
In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order
