It'll help your Year 6 pupils with adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. We've included some lovely themed games to keep your pupils fully engaged with the topic of adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators KS2. We've included both fishing and space themed resources to help your children with enjoying Maths, making it more practical and as fun as possible for them. While using these Maths games, your children will develop a greater understanding and fluency of adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators in KS2. It's perfect to use in the lead up to SATs examinations, and the best part is these resources are available online. That makes them perfect both for use in the classroom and for use at home, useful for all of the remote learners out there during school closures. If you're looking for alternative ways of helping your children through their Maths topics, we have plenty of video resources available both on our website and our YouTube channels. You can watch our video on converting fractions aimed at upper KS2 children below, and then check out the other videos on the channel. We host all sorts of other content such as full lessons, explainers, top-tips videos and songs to help your children learn their Maths topics and times tables. How can I help my child with adding fractions at home?Using resources such as this to help your children at home with their Maths topics is a brilliant way to boost their confidence, especially if they're struggling with the topic in school and you'd like to offer them some additional support. For the topic of adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, at KS2 there can be a lot of misconceptions and gaps in knowledge which are important for success in the topic. It's important to define what's meant by adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators in KS2. If denominators are like, it can be as simple as adding the numerators together and keeping the denominator as the same shared number. If the denominators presented in a question or a problem are different to each other, one or both fractions may need converting to an equivalent fraction so that the denominators do match up, then it's simply a case of adding the numerators. You can watch the video linked below for more help on this. You'll also want to see our Resources for Year 6 to Add and Subtract Fractions. Why do we need common denominators:To be able to begin to add or subtract a fraction the denominators must be the same, so the two parts that have been split, when added or subtracted will equal the same size. When fractions have the same denominator it is simple as the equal parts are the same size. This is why we have to find an equivalent fraction when the denominators aren't the same so we get the same size overall.

Can you directly add or subtract fractions with different denominators?If the denominators are the same, then we can directly add and subtract fractions. But if denominators are different then we need to rationalise the denominators by finding LCM of the two and then add the fractions.
How do you add different fractions with different denominators?If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
