Frequently asked questions
Why do children find Year 5 fractions hard?
The jump from same-denominator to different-denominator fractions is a big conceptual step. Regular short practice sessions with varied question types are the most effective way to build confidence.
How are Year 5 fractions tested in SATs?
KS2 SATs include questions on equivalent fractions, ordering fractions, and fraction arithmetic. The Math Maker's Champion difficulty mirrors the challenge level of SATs questions.
