Practise specific Fractions skills
What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 6, students extend fraction fluency by adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, simplifying results, and finding a fraction of a number. These skills build directly on equivalent fractions and multiples.
Fractions are applied extensively to ratio, rate, and percent problems. Students simplify fractions, convert between representation forms, and solve multi-step scenarios that require careful reasoning about fractional quantities without jumping ahead to Grade 7 fraction multiplication and division algorithms.
Skills Covered
- Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators
- Finding a fraction of a number
- Simplifying fractions to lowest terms
- Using fractions in ratio and percent problems
- Finding common denominators efficiently
- Applying fractions in algebraic expressions
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): adding and subtracting unlike-denominator fractions and applying fractions to proportional reasoning.
Parent Tip: If unlike-denominator problems are hard, step back to equivalent fractions and multiples. Common denominators are the bridge, not a separate trick.
What your child will practice
- Fractions, Decimals, PercentsRepresent and compare fractions, decimal numbers, and percents.
- Operations with FractionsAdd and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
Why do students struggle with fractions?
Fractions require understanding parts of a whole, which is more abstract than counting. Using visual models like fraction bars and number lines helps build intuition.
How can I help my child with fractions at home?
Use real-life examples: cooking (measuring cups), pizza slices, and sharing equally. These concrete experiences make fractions meaningful.
What fraction skills should my child know by grade level?
Grade 3: identifying and comparing simple fractions. Grade 4: equivalent fractions and adding with like denominators. Grade 5-6: all four operations with fractions and mixed numbers.
