The Grade 6 fraction expectation is an operation. Ontario B2.5 asks students to add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators. They can only do that if equivalent fractions are solid, so this printable preview starts there. Students compare 1/8 and 1/3, order 3/4, 2/4, and 1/4, and find a fraction equivalent to 1/3. They write 9/12 in simplest form and rewrite 3 8/10 as an improper fraction. On the full sheet the operation arrives: 2/3 + 2/5 and 2/3 − 2/4, unlike denominators that need a common multiple. Halves, fourths, and eighths as fair shares, without the addition, are the Grade 3 fractions page.
Ontario curriculum: Mathematics (2020) · Number B2.5 — add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators
Which fraction operation is the Grade 6 Ontario focus?
B2.5 is adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators. The full worksheet includes 2/3 + 2/5 and 2/3 − 2/4. The opening preview builds the equivalent fractions those items need.
Does this Grade 6 sheet use mixed numbers?
Yes. Students write 3 8/10 as an improper fraction and, on the full set, write 19/3 as a mixed number.
Should a Grade 6 student still practise comparing fractions?
The preview includes it, because unlike denominators are easier once students can tell which fraction is greater. Comparing a shaded picture is the earlier Grade 3 page.
