**A ready-to-teach Year 6 reasoning lesson focused on fractions and percentages of amounts in word problem contexts.

This lesson develops pupils’ ability to apply proportional reasoning to find parts of a whole, calculate missing values and solve multi-step problems involving fractions and percentages.

This lesson is fully standalone and ready to teach, supporting pupils in developing confidence with SATS-style reasoning questions.**

This Year 6 maths lesson focuses on applying fractions and percentages to find parts of a whole in word problem contexts.

Pupils work through structured problems involving mixtures, volumes and missing values, developing their understanding of how a whole can be split into different proportions. They move from identifying percentages of a quantity to calculating missing values and solving more complex multi-step problems.

Teachers can use the included Smart Notebook input slides to model strategies clearly and guide pupils through step-by-step examples before independent work.

Pupils then complete a differentiated independent activity designed to support all learners while still providing appropriate challenge. The tasks develop confidence with fractions, percentages and proportional reasoning in real-world contexts.

This resource is ideal for Year 6 fractions and percentages lessons, KS2 reasoning practice, SATS revision, or targeted intervention sessions.
