Fractions of Amounts Mastery
An interactive lesson on screen. Your child works through worked examples, practises on their own, then tests themselves with questions that get harder as they go.
About this lesson
Most fraction worksheets stop at finding a fraction of a number. The 11+ and GCSE papers go further: increasing and decreasing by a fraction, working out what fraction a change represents, applying two fractions one after another. That's where marks slip away when a child has only practised the basics.
Topics covered:
- Unit fractions of an amount, for example finding $\frac{1}{4}$ of 32
- Non-unit fractions of an amount, and comparing fractions of two different amounts
- Increasing and decreasing an amount by a fraction
- Finding the fraction of a change, for example a price rises from 40 to 50, by what fraction did it increase
- Successive fractions, where one fraction is applied, then a second fraction is applied to what's left
Your child works through this lesson on any screen. They click to reveal each step of a worked example, try the practice questions on paper, then click to check their own answer.
How it's structured:
- 3 of the 5 units open with a hands-on interactive Explore activity, and every unit includes a worked example your child clicks through line by line, then a bank of practice questions colour-coded easy, medium and hard
- 60 questions across the 5 units, each with a click-to-reveal answer and a reveal-all option
- A final 20-question mixed challenge pulling from all 5 units, 80 questions in total, the way these questions turn up mixed together on an exam paper
The method most worksheets skip: when a number changes, you find the fraction of that change by dividing by the original amount, not the new one. Mixing the two up is the most common mistake in this topic, and it's exactly what Unit 4 is built to catch before it costs marks on the real exam.
Use this if:
- Your child is in Year 4 to Year 11 and needs to build fraction confidence
- You're preparing for the 11+, where fraction-of-amount and increase/decrease questions come up regularly
- Your child is doing GCSE Foundation and loses marks on multi-step fraction questions
- You want a resource that marks itself instead of one more thing on your list

FAQs
How do I access the lesson?
You'll get an email with your lesson link as soon as payment goes through. Click it to open the lesson in any browser, no login and no app to install.
How does the marking work?
There's no typing answers into a box. Your child works it out on paper, then clicks to reveal the correct answer and checks their own work. Full working is shown too, not just the final answer, so mistakes are easy to spot.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
It works best on a tablet or laptop, where there's more room to read the examples and questions. It'll open on a phone too, but the text and diagrams can feel quite small on a smaller screen.
Can I use the lesson more than once?
Yes. There's no limit on how many times you open the link, so it's there for revision right up to the exam.
