Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to model and record how to use division calculations and common factors to simplify a range of different fractions to their lowest forms by matching common factors for the denominators and numerators.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to simplify different fractions to their lowest forms by using matching common factors.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and illustrate how to change and convert the values of different fractions using equivalence, simplification and conversion between mixed and improper fractions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
