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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
Word problems: Finding fractions of numbers
When does my child learn how to find a fraction of a number?
This skill is typically taught in KS2 and your child will need to know that a fraction is part of a whole. They will then learn how to find a fraction of a number. An easy example would be to find 1/2 of a number.
To find 1/2 of 10, we find two parts that make the whole (the whole being 10).
The answer is 5, because two 5s will make 10.
How will this fraction worksheet help my child?
This worksheet provides a time-saving resource for teaching fractions of numbers to your child at home. The questions are formatted in a way that will help prepare your child for common exam questions in the future and encourage them to think about fractions in the real world. There are nine questions, all centred around football, that require your child to practise the skill of finding fractions of numbers.
