Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Adding and subtracting fractions

Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator worksheet
When adding two fractions whose denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, you simply add the two numerators (top numbers) and leave the denominators the same. Can your child work out the fraction additions in this worksheet?


Keystage:  KS2, Year 3

How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator? 

When adding fractions with the same denominator, make sure that the bottom numbers (denominators) are already identical. Then, simply add the top numbers (numerators) together and keep the common denominator.

Similarly, when subtracting fractions with the same denominator, check the denominators match. Subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator.

This fun, teacher-created worksheet include a visual example of how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. Your child is then asked to answer 12 clear questions that are designed to practise this skill. Answers are included at the bottom of the worksheet.
