Fractions
Build from equal parts to fraction division and word problems.
Your child already finds a fraction of a set and multiplies fractions. Primary 6 adds two kinds of division: sharing a fraction among a whole number, and counting how many fractions fit into a whole number. Both become multiplication. The word problems then use a fraction of a remainder, equal fractions of two quantities, and a ratio read as a fraction. Read the study guide →
About this chapter
Primary 6 fractions questions add dividing a fraction by a whole number and dividing by a fraction to the multiplication your child already knows. The chapter also covers the word problems built on them: a fraction of a set, a fraction of a remainder, and equal fractions of two different wholes.
Practise by question type: fraction of a set questions, multiplying fractions questions, dividing a fraction by a whole number, dividing by a fraction questions, fraction of a remainder questions and equal fractions of two quantities.
