TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Adding and subtracting fractions practice
How do you explain fractions in KS2?
In KS2, teachers often explain fractions by comparing them to things children are already familiar with, like pizza or chocolate bars.
Imagine a pizza divided into equal parts; if you have 1 out of 4 pieces, that's 1/4 of the pizza.
Fractions are simply a way to show parts of a whole. The top number, called the numerator, tells you how many parts you have, and the bottom number, called the denominator, tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into. So, if you have 3 out of 8 slices of chocolate, that's 3/8 of the chocolate bar.
How will this KS2 adding and subtracting fractions worksheet help your child?
This teacher-created resource will help your child practise adding and subtracting fractions at home. It has clear and colourful examples and explanations, and the exercise will embed what they're learning at school.
