Level 5-6 Numbers - Fractions - Addition and Subtraction

Addition and subtraction seem easy, right? But KS3 Maths likes to challenge us! This quiz dives into adding and subtracting fractions.

Adding and subtracting fractions isn't as tricky as it seems. Just find their lowest common multiple and give both fractions that denominator. You can only add and subtract if the fractions share the same denominator. That's the number below the line. Fractions have two parts – numerators (the top or first number) and denominators (the bottom or second number).

For example, to add 25 and 23, convert both to 15ths. 25 becomes 615 and 23 becomes 1015. Add them: 615 + 1015 = 1615 or 1115. Simple once you know how!

Take the quiz below and soon you'll master adding and subtracting fractions. Take your time, think about your answers, and good luck with your KS3 Maths journey!
