About this resource

Match ten anchor fractions with equivalent fractions on lettered boats, then record the matching letters.

  • One-page equivalent-fractions worksheet
  • Ten anchors in two outer columns with answer boxes
  • Ten lettered boats in the middle column

Curriculum reference — England: Inspect denominator range before assigning a grade or Year; matching is a narrow equivalence task. OCR includes denominators40 and72; simplification and equivalence fit Grade7 rather than restricting to Grade5 twelfths. Common-factor simplification supports Year6; larger denominators make the earlier diagram-only claim incomplete. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
