adding fractions year 5 problem solving

Fractions in Year 5 (age 9–10)

In Year 5, your child will continue to learn about fractions as numbers, measures, and operators. They will now extend their knowledge of fractions to thousandths, and will start learning about percentages.

What your child will learn

Take a look at the National Curriculum expectations for fractions in Year 5 (ages 9–10):

Compare and order fractions

Your child will learn to compare fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number. For example:

 is less than   (also written as   <  ).

1/7

Your child will also order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number. For example:

Put the fractions   ,   ,   ,   , and     in order from least to greatest.   ,  ,  ,  ,  .

Identify equivalent fractions

1/3

Use mixed numbers and improper fractions

Your child will recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions , and will be able to convert one to the other.

1/2

Add and subtract fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number

Your child will use drawings, diagrams, and symbols to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, and denominators that are multiples of the same number. For example:

  +     =   .     +     =     =   .

Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers

Children will use objects and diagrams to:

1/4

Read and write decimal numbers as fractions

Your child will be able to understand the equivalence between decimals and fractions. For example:

Use tenths, hundredth, thousandths, and their decimal equivalents

1/100

They will be able to mentally add and subtract tenths, as well as mixed numbers that have one-digit whole numbers and tenths.

Round numbers to one decimal place

Your child will round numbers with two decimal places up or down to the nearest whole number. For example, 3.45 will round down to 3.

They will also round numbers with two decimal places up or down to one decimal place. For example, 2.67 will round up to 2.7.

Compare numbers with three decimal places

Your child will learn to read, write, order and compare decimal numbers with up to three decimal places.

For example, they will be able to:

  • read and write numbers with three decimal places (for example, 1.454, 1.764, 1.654, 1.453)
  • put them in order (for example, 1.453, 1.454, 1.654, 1.764)
  • compare them (for example, 1.453 < 3.454).

Solve problems involving numbers with three decimal places

Understand and use percentages.

Your child will know that percentages, decimals, and fractions are different ways of expressing proportions.

They will make connections between percentages, fractions, and decimals. For example:

100% = 1   1% =    = 0·01   50% =    = 0·5   25% =    = 0·25

Your child will also recognise the percent symbol (%) and understand that ‘percent’ means ‘number of parts per hundred’. They will be able to write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal fraction.

Compare percentages to fractions and decimals

How to help at home

There are lots of ways you can help your child to understand fractions. Here are just a few ideas.

1. Explore mixed numbers and improper fractions

Mixed numbers and improper fractions can be difficult for your child to grasp at first.

It often helps children to learn about these types of fractions visually. Diagrams can help their understanding:

Fraction Calculations in School

Pizza fractions

Ask your child to gather a number of pizza slices to make an improper fraction. Can they use these slices to show a mixed fraction? Can your child write down a mathematical way to reach the same answer?

2. Add and subtract fractions

Adding fractions.

In Year 5, your child will continue to add and subtract fractions. They will now be expected to add and subtract fractions whose denominators are multiples of the same number. For example:

 +   = ? First they will need to find the lowest common denominator (i.e. the smallest multiple of the two numbers). The lowest common denominator here is 8, because it is the smallest number both 4 and 8 will divide into equally. Your child will then have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 to represent   in eighths: Your child will now be able to add the fractions:    +   =   –   = 

Subtracting fractions

Your child will follow a similar process to subtract fractions like these. For example:

  –    = ?   Your child will first need to find the   lowest common denominator , which is 12. So,     will become     as the numerator and the denominator will each be multiplied by 4. The     will become     as the numerator and the denominator will each be multiplied by 3. Your child will then be able to subtract     from     to leave   .    –   =   –   =   

More practice

You could practise calculating with fractions using the pizza cutouts in the Fraction Calculations in School booklet.

3. Multiply fractions by whole numbers

Your child will learn to multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers.

4. Investigate decimals

Show your child a number with 3 decimal places and ask them to tell you how many tenths, hundredths, or thousandths it has. For example, the number 4·203 has two tenths, zero hundredths, and three thousandths.

Place value charts can help your child to better understand decimal numbers:

adding fractions year 5 problem solving

Look for examples of these numbers in the real world and point them out to your child.

For example, when filling the car with petrol, ask your child to tell you what the number is by explaining how many tenths, hundredths, or thousandths it has. You could also ask them to round the total price or the total amount of petrol up or down to the nearest whole number, tenth, or hundredth. For instance, if you used 56.784 litres of petrol, you could ask your child to round this to the nearest litre (57L), tenth (56.8L), or hundredth (56.78L).

5. Investigate percentages

In Year 5, your child will be introduced to percentages. Talk about how ‘percent’ means ‘number of parts per hundred’.

55/100

Sales at the shops can provide great real-life opportunities to work with percentages. For example, you could ask your child to help you work out the sale price of an item. If there is 30% off a T-shirt and the full price is £9.99, what is 30% of the full price and what is the sale price?
