✏️ Skills covered

Pupils practise:

• Recognising improper fractions

• Converting improper fractions into whole numbers

• Converting improper fractions into mixed numbers

• Using division to find the whole-number component

• Expressing remainders as fractional parts

• Recognising equivalent fractional answers

📈 Differentiated learning progression

🔺 Triangle – Lower-ability level

Begins with smaller, more accessible improper fractions. Pupils first convert fractions that divide exactly into whole numbers before working with straightforward mixed numbers using smaller denominators.

⚪ Circle – Middle-ability level

Introduces larger numerators and a broader denominator range. Pupils complete more demanding division and express the remainders as fractional parts of mixed numbers.

🟦 Square – Higher-ability level

Uses substantially larger numerators, including values up to 144, and denominators up to 12. These questions require confident division and conversion into mixed numbers with larger whole-number components.

The layout remains consistent across all three levels, allowing pupils to concentrate on the increasing mathematical difficulty.

🎯 Curriculum and assessment relevance

This resource supports important Year 4 fraction and division skills taught across primary and elementary maths curricula. It also provides useful practice with foundational number skills encountered in later NAPLAN and SATs preparation.
