Add & Subtract Fractions with the same Denominator

National Curriculum Year 4 : Number – fractions

• Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator*

Pupils practise adding and subtracting proper, improper & mixed fractions with the same denominator.
There are 14 sets of progressive differentiated worksheets to ensure your students develop all the skills needed to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators.

They combine to create a smooth transition in the learning process from adding and subtracting fractions less than one to adding and subtracting mixed numbers, all with the same denominators.

• Set 1: Add 2 fractions with the sum < 1
• Set 2: Add 3 fractions with the sum < 1
• Set 3: Subtract with both fractions < 1
• Set 4: Numerical questions: Addition & subtraction, all fractions and answers < 1
• Set 5: Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers
• Set 6: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 1: Whole number = 1
• Set 7: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 2: Whole numbers from 1 to 4
• Set 8: Numerical questions: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions
• Set 9: Add 2 fractions , each < 1 but their sum >1
• Set 10: Numerical questions: Add 2 or 3 fractions with sum > 1
• Set 11: Add 2 mixed numbers
• Set 12: Subtract mixed numbers
• Set 13: Numerical questions: Add 2 mixed numbers
• Set 14: Numerical questions: Subtract mixed numbers

All the above, except where it states ‘Numerical questions’ , use visual fraction models.

You have a choice of the level of questions. For the worksheets with the visual fraction models - 3 levels. For the Numerical questions - 2 levels where the range of denominators used are different.

A little reminder on each Worksheet
At the top of all the worksheets using the visual fraction model there is an example shown as a memory jogger and as a teaching tool if needed.

How many Worksheets are there in total ?
Almost unlimited. The 14 sets with 2 or 3 levels within each set giving you over 35 to choose from. BUT on top of that, at the click of a button numbers are randomised, so the questions change every time so you can create new worksheets

Answers are automatically generated every time you create a new worksheet
