N2/L2.3

Evaluate one number as a fraction of another
(a) Understand equivalent fractions
(b) Understand simplest form
(c) Know how to reduce a fraction to its simplest form, e.g. by recognising equivalent fractions, by using factors to 'cancel'
(d) Recognise prime numbers (i.e. numbers that can't be cancelled)
(e) Understand that quantities must be in the same units to evaluate one as a fraction of another

This is a set of worksheets in a MS Excel workbook that deals with fractions.
- Sheet one: a set of pictures (pie charts) that shows fractions from halves to tenths
- Sheet two: equivalent fractions with two pie charts, learners can input fractions and see if they are equivalent by looking at the shape of the pie charts
- Sheet three: starting to look at fractions being equivalent to decimals with two pie charts one for fractions and one for decimals

My class of adult learners were struggling to associate fractions with real world scenarios so I created this worksheet based on honest situations.
The questions are diverse in difficulty from Entry level 2 to Level 2 making it a good worksheet as a starter or revision.
