Fractions on Number Lines (B) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 6
Learning objective: Placing fractions on a number line given the position of another fraction with a different denominator

Fractions on Number Lines (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to extend the understanding gained from Fractions on Number Lines (A) by making learners think about equivalent fractions as well as mixed numbers.

Section A asks learners to place a fraction on a number line given the position of another with a denominator which is a factor or multiple of the other.

Section B, repeats this task but with mixed numbers.

Section C then gives fractions that do not have related denominators, therefore learners will need to find common denominators to help place the required fraction.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

This worksheet builds on foundational fraction skills by introducing the challenge of working with different denominators when placing fractions on number lines. Year 6 pupils will apply their knowledge of equivalent fractions and finding common denominators, which are key concepts at this stage. The progression from related denominators to unrelated ones helps develop the mathematical reasoning expected at this level.
