Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number [F4]

The CanDoSATs KS2 materials from Buzzard Publishing provide a comprehensive approach to mastering fractions for Key Stage 2 students. The exercises are designed to help children understand how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, as well as fractions where the denominators are multiples of the same number. The worksheets guide students through a series of problems that require them to apply their knowledge of fractions in various contexts. With clear instructions and a structured layout, these resources aim to build confidence and fluency in dealing with fractions, a fundamental aspect of the maths curriculum.

Throughout the worksheets, students encounter a range of fraction problems that challenge them to think critically and develop their mathematical reasoning. Key vocabulary such as 'numerator' and 'denominator' is emphasised, ensuring that pupils are familiar with the language of fractions. The exercises also encourage collaborative learning, with opportunities for partner discussions and group work. By engaging with these activities, students deepen their understanding of fractions and prepare for the more complex mathematical concepts they will encounter in their education.
