Fractions (Year 4)
To calculate one quarter of a number, we divide by 4.

Fractions (Year 4)

Year 4 Maths builds on fractions by showing how to find parts of numbers and shapes. Pupils explore equivalent fractions and practise using them in real-life situations.

Fascinating Fact:

In baking, if a recipe needs ¾ of a cup of sugar and you only have a ¼ cup scoop, you need to fill it three times.

In KS2 Maths, Year 4 pupils learn more about fractions by finding equivalent values, comparing fractions, and using them to solve practical problems in everyday contexts.

  • Equivalent Fractions: Fractions that represent the same value, like 1/2 and 2/4.
  • Mixed Number: A number made from a whole number and a fraction, such as 1 1/2.
  • Proper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, like 3/5.
What are equivalent fractions in Year 4?

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that show the same value. For example, 2/4 is the same as 1/2.

How do pupils use fractions in Year 4?

Pupils use fractions to compare amounts, find fractions of numbers, and solve real problems, such as measuring in recipes.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction, such as 2 1/3, which means two whole parts and one third.

1 .
Which of these fractions is equivalent to one quarter?
28
13
36
25
One eighth is half of one quarter so two eighths is equivalent to one quarter
2 .
Which fraction is greater than 12?
14
510
26
1120
10?20 is equivalent to 1?2 so 11?20 must be more
3 .
How do we calculate one quarter of a number?
Divide by 2
Multiply by 4
Divide by 4
Multiply by 2
16 ÷ 4 = 4 so 1?4 of 16 is 4
4 .
Which represents one eighth?
14
18
120

20
To calculate one tenth we divide by 10
8 .
Which of these fractions is equivalent to 34?
23
610
46
68
6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4 so 3?4 is the same as 6?8
9 .
Which of these is NOT equivalent to 12?

36
23
48
2?3 is more than 1?2
10 .
Which is the smallest of these fractions?
14
18
120
