Year 6 - Number and Algebra

Standard 6.OA.1.2 - Solve addition and subtraction word problems with fractions with like denominators.

Included Skills:

Fractions and decimals
• Compare fractions with related denominators and locate and represent them on a number line
- demonstrating equivalence between fractions using drawings and models
• Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same or related denominators
- understanding the processes for adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators and fractions as an operator, in preparation for calculating with all fractions
- solving realistic additive (addition and subtraction) problems involving fractions to develop understanding of equivalent fractions and the use of fractions as operators
- modelling and solving additive problems involving fractions by using methods such as jumps on a number line, or by making diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes
• Find a simple fraction of a quantity where the result is a whole number, with and without digital technologies
- recognising that finding one third of a quantity is the same as dividing by 3
• Add and subtract decimals, with and without digital technologies, and use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers
- extending whole-number strategies to explore and develop meaningful written strategies for addition and subtraction of decimal numbers to thousandths
- exploring and practising efficient methods for solving problems requiring operations on decimals, to gain fluency with calculating with decimals and with recognising appropriate operations
• Multiply decimals by whole numbers and perform divisions by non-zero whole numbers where the results are terminating decimals, with and without digital technologies
- interpreting the results of calculations to provide an answer appropriate to the context
• Multiply and divide decimals by powers of 10
- multiplying and dividing decimals by multiples of powers of 10
• Make connections between equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages
- connecting fractions, decimals and percentages as different representations of the same number, moving fluently between representations and choosing the appropriate one for the problem being solved
