• calculate time,
• find other quantities.

Learning Outcome

The pupil will be able to:

• Recognise a fraction as part of one whole.
• Name and write fractions in words.
• Split and colour the given fractions in 2D shapes.
• Calculate fractions with time, lengths, weights, capacity and other numerical quantities.

Recommended Level 

This workbook will help pupils to build the knowledge and skills expected to match the new National Curriculum for key stage 2. Although, there is an overlap with pupils studying at key stage 3. They could also benefit from using these workbooks as a refresher.

The mathematical tasks in the Basics of Fractions workbooks are based on the variation theory. The examples use multiple representations enabling the pupils to deepen their understanding of the fundamental concepts of fractions and develop techniques to solve problems with fractions.

The activities aim to empower pupils to use their natural powers of imagination, engage them to reason mathematically and allow them to make sense of their experiences.

It is best to use these workbooks from beginning to end.
