What Year 5 equivalent fractions covers

In Year 5, children identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, including tenths and hundredths. Each question gives a fraction and a new denominator, and the child fills in the missing numerator: 3/10 = ?/30 or 3/4 = ?/36. Sheets scale as far as hundredths, and when one comes up — 3/10 = 30/100 — it is the bridge to decimals, because 30/100 is also 0.30. Every sheet is A4, print-ready, and comes with an answer key.

Answers included — a separate marking page with every sheet.

Questions parents ask

What does Year 5 add to equivalent fractions?

Year 5 works with larger denominators and with tenths, and scales fractions as far as hundredths — questions like 3/10 = ?/100. Tenths appear on almost every sheet; a hundredths question turns up whenever the scale factor happens to be 10. Make a new sheet if you would like a different mix.

How does my child work out the missing numerator?

Look at what the bottom number was multiplied by, then do the same to the top. In 3/10 = ?/100 the denominator went from 10 to 100, so it was multiplied by 10 — and 3 × 10 = 30, giving 30/100.

Why is the answer not written in its simplest form?

Because simplifying it would just give back the fraction on the left. The point of the exercise is to scale a fraction up to a new denominator, so 3/10 = 30/100 is exactly the answer we want. Writing fractions in their simplest form comes later, in Year 6.

Are the answers included?

Yes. Keep 'Answers' ticked and a separate answer-key page is made with every sheet, so marking takes seconds. Every answer is computed exactly and checked.
