This Year 5 calculating with fractions unit develops pupils’ understanding of multiplying fractions, finding fractions of quantities and amounts, and solving increasingly complex fraction problems. Aligned with White Rose Maths and the Year 5 National Curriculum, the block helps pupils apply fraction knowledge confidently across a range of mathematical contexts.
Across the unit, pupils multiply unit fractions, non-unit fractions and mixed numbers by integers, calculate fractions of quantities and amounts, find the whole from a given fraction and use fractions as operators. Learning progresses from visual models and representations towards increasingly sophisticated problem-solving involving fractions.
Resources are organised into comprehensive lesson packs containing detailed lesson plans, interactive teaching slides, differentiated worksheets and supporting activities. Assessment materials, revision resources and knowledge organisers are included to support progression and secure understanding throughout the block.
These Year 5 fractions resources form part of our complete Maths Masters scheme. Explore the full spring term sequence for structured progression, interactive teaching slides and differentiated maths resources.

This Year 5 calculating with fractions block helps pupils develop confidence when applying fractions in practical and abstract contexts. Through carefully sequenced lessons, pupils build fluency with multiplying fractions, finding fractions of quantities and amounts, and solving multi-step problems involving fractions.
The unit progresses from multiplying unit and non-unit fractions to working with mixed numbers, fractions of quantities and fractions of amounts. Pupils then apply these skills to find the whole from a known fraction, use fractions as operators and solve increasingly complex fraction problems using efficient methods and mathematical reasoning.
