Years 5-6 Adding and Subtracting Fractions Variety Pack | 3 Maths Units

Build confident fraction problem-solvers with three complete, complementary Years 5–6 Mathematics units. This bundle moves students from visual models, equivalent fractions and like denominators to efficient common-denominator strategies, unlike denominators, mixed numbers, simplification and contextual problem solving.

The first Year 5 unit provides a concise teaching sequence with a 4-Step Check display, differentiated support, core and extension practice, Fraction Match-Up Sort and the Build-a-Whole Trail game. Its editable 15-slide presentation, editable 22-slide quiz and 26-page unit plan combine explicit instruction, guided practice, assessment and answers.

The Year 6 unit extends the learning to related and unrelated denominators, improper fractions, mixed-number operations and regrouping. It includes a Fraction Operations Road Map, Common Denominator Toolkit, strategy cards, five two-part worksheet sets, Denominator Dash, Fraction Match-Up, a fraction magic-square challenge, assessment and answers. The sequence includes an editable 21-slide presentation, editable 22-slide quiz and 38-page unit plan.

The second Year 5 unit offers an additional visual and activity-rich pathway through the same essential concepts. Adding and Subtracting Fractions displays, a Fraction Operations desk mat, Common Denominator Match-Up, Fraction Path Challenge, six focused worksheets, a two-page problem-solving check and matching answers are supported by an editable 24-slide presentation, editable 22-slide quiz and 27-page unit plan.
