    Answer key
    • ½ of 4 = 2
    • ¼ of 8 = 2
    • ⅓ of 18 = 6
    • ⅕ of 10 = 2
    • ⅒ of 30 = 3
    • ⅛ of 24 = 3
    • ¾ of 16 = 12
    • ⅔ of 18 = 12
    • ⅖ of 20 = 8
    • ⅗ of 15 = 9
    • ⅜ of 16 = 6
    • ⅘ of 10 = 8

    How to find a fraction of an amount

    Divide by the bottom number, then multiply by the top number. To find three quarters of 8, share 8 into 4 equal groups of 2, then take 3 of those groups: 6. For a unit fraction like a quarter, the top number is 1, so dividing is all you need.

    Use real objects first

    Sharing sweets, buttons or grapes into equal groups makes fractions concrete. Ask: if we share these 15 grapes between 3 bowls, how many are in one bowl? That is one third of 15. How many are in two bowls?

    Why it matters

    Fractions of amounts link times tables, division and fractions together. Children who can do this confidently find percentages and ratio much easier in Years 5 and 6.

    Frequently asked questions

    What year group learns fractions of amounts?

    Finding fractions of a set of objects, including non-unit fractions like ⅔, is part of Year 3 maths in the National Curriculum in England, when children are 7 to 8.

    What is a unit fraction?

    A fraction with 1 on top, such as ½, ⅓ or ¼. A non-unit fraction has a bigger number on top, such as ¾ or ⅖.
