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.

Key Terms

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

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.
