The bottom number of a fraction is called the denominator.

Fractions (Year 6)

In Year 6 Maths, pupils extend their knowledge of fractions. They simplify, compare, and connect them with decimals and percentages, applying their skills to real-world and problem-solving tasks.

Fascinating Fact:

In the Premier League, if a team wins 19 games out of 38, they have won exactly one half of their matches.

In KS2 Maths, Year 6 pupils work with fractions by simplifying them, finding common denominators, and linking them to decimals and percentages. These skills prepare them for secondary school topics.

  • Simplify: To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, such as turning 4/8 into 1/2.
  • Denominator: The bottom number of a fraction, showing how many equal parts the whole is divided into.
  • Equivalent Fractions: Different fractions that represent the same value, like 2/3 and 4/6.
How do Year 6 pupils simplify fractions?

Pupils divide the numerator and denominator by the same number until the fraction is in its lowest terms. For example, 12/20 simplifies to 3/5.

How are fractions linked to percentages in Year 6?

Fractions can be converted into percentages by making the denominator 100 or dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100.

Why are fractions important in real life?

Fractions are used when measuring, cooking, sharing amounts, handling money, and understanding statistics in sports, science, and everyday life.

1 .
Which of these are NOT equivalent to each other?
39 and 13
68 and 34
46 and 812
110 and 25
1?5 = 2?10
2 .
What is the numerator?
The top number of a fraction
The bottom number of a fraction
The divider between the two numbers of a fraction
The whole number in a mixed fraction
The numerator tells us how many of the equal parts there are
3 .
Which is an equivalent of 615?
25
37
210
13
6 ÷ 3 = 2 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5 so 2?5 is the same as 6?15
4 .
How do we change 310 to an equivalent fraction?
Divide the numerator by the denominator
Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number
Multiply the numerator by the denominator
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number
If we multiply by 10 the equivalent fraction will be 30?100
5 .
Which of these statements is FALSE?
One half is 3 times more than one sixth
One third is twice as much as one sixth
One twentieth is half of one tenth
One hundredth is ten times more than one tenth
One tenth is ten times more than one hundredth
6 .
What do we call the bottom number of a fraction?
Numerator
Factor
Multiple
Denominator
The denominator tells us the number of parts the whole is divided into
7 .
What would 129 be when converted to a mixed number?
339
113
149
219
12?9 could be written as 13?9, 11?3 or 4?3
8 .
How do we reduce 520 to an equivalent fraction?
Divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number
Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number
We have to find the lowest common multiple of 5 and 20 which is 5 so the equivalent will be 1?4
9 .
What would 226 be when converted to an improper fraction?
142
156
146
136
14?6 could also be written as 7?3
10 .
How many 11,000 in a whole one?
10
100
1,000
10,000
1,000?1,000 = 1, just as 100?100 or 3?3 = 1
