Finding Fractions of Amounts WORKSHEET
Finding Fractions of Amounts WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
In this worksheet students will progress to finding fractions of amounts such as 5/12 of 240. All answers are integers meaning students can focus on their method and process.
Section A begins with an example using a bar model and there is plenty of space on this write on worksheet should your learners wish to use the same method.
Section B sees students considering what fraction of an amount produces a certain answer.
Next, given a fraction of an amount students are asked to find the whole. Again, an example is given with a bar model. Allowing students to emulate this method if they choose.
This worksheet ends with 3 worded questions, giving some context to these calculations.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
Frequently Asked Questions
The worksheet provides bar model examples in each section to help students visualise the problems, though they're free to use whichever method works best for them. Bar models are particularly helpful for finding fractions of numbers as they allow students to see how amounts are divided into equal parts. There's plenty of space provided so students can draw their own bar models if they find this approach useful.
