💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to challenge Year 3 pupils' understanding of unit-fractions. It's best used after children have a solid foundation in identifying and representing simple fractions. Consider using it as an end-of-topic assessment or as a challenging extension activity for more able learners. When differentiating, provide visual aids like fraction bars or counters for pupils who need extra support. Encourage children to draw diagrams to help them visualise the problems. A common mistake is confusing the numerator and denominator, so reinforce the meaning of each. For extension, ask pupils to create their own word problems involving unit-fractions and baking.
