About this resource

Year 6: Fractions: Lesson 10 – Add Fractions Extend your Year 6 pupils’ mastery of fraction addition with this curriculum-aligned lesson focused on adding fractions effectively—particularly those with different denominators and in the context of mixed numbers and improper fractions. This resource builds on prior learning (lessons 6–9) and complements the Year 6 objective to “add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions.” Pupils will: Find equivalent fractions with common denominators to perform accurate at-scale addition. Tackle complex examples including mixed numbers and improper fractions to develop deeper fluency. Apply reasoning through tasks that ask them to justify their approach (e.g., “Why did you choose that denominator?”). Receive scaffolded support via structured planning, differentiated worksheets, and reasoning prompts. Perfect for guided instruction, mastery sessions, or consolidation, this lesson fosters confident and confident fractional arithmetic grounded in strong conceptual understanding.Read more

Fine, though the font is small for my class.

The maths is right and the sequence is sensible. Several of my children needed it enlarged to A3, which is easy enough but worth knowing before you print thirty.

Printed it at eight on a Sunday and taught it on the Monday.

No editing, no reformatting, no hunting for the answers. The three levels are on separate pages, which sounds obvious until you have used the sites where they are not.

Matches our White Rose planning almost week for week.

I stopped adapting things from three different sites and now start here. The odd week does not line up exactly, but the small step it covers is always somewhere in the same block.
