Key insight: Mastering fractions unlocks many other maths topics, including decimals, percentages, and ratios.
What's included in fractions practice

These include finding a fraction of a quantity, simplifying and recognising equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, and comparing or ordering fractions. The EEZY BREEZY MATHS Fractions Package offers targeted worksheets for each of these skills.
