Fun with Fractions! Avidator’s Ultimate Year 5 Maths Workshop

Understanding fractions is an essential part of every child’s maths journey, especially in Year 5, when concepts become more detailed, and the foundations for future learning are built. For many students, fractions can feel a little overwhelming at first, but with the right guidance, they can become one of the most enjoyable parts of maths.
Avidator’s Ultimate Year 5 Maths Workshop is specially designed to help students approach fractions with confidence and clarity. The sessions offer a supportive, interactive environment where children can explore these concepts step by step, using practical examples and real-time activities.

Why Fractions Matter in Year 5?

By Year 5, children are expected to work with a range of fraction-related topics:

• Finding equivalent fractions
• Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators
• Understanding improper fractions and mixed numbers
• Relating fractions to decimals and percentages

These areas often appear in school assessments and entrance exams such as the 11 Plus, making it especially important that students feel secure with the material. A strong grasp of fractions not only boosts exam readiness but also helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

What the Workshop Covers?

The workshop is split into two 3-hour live sessions, delivered online through Zoom. Each session is interactive and guided by experienced tutors who explain concepts in a clear, straightforward manner. The focus is on building understanding through doing, not just listening.
Students take part in engaging activities such as puzzles, mini-quizzes, and collaborative problem-solving. These hands-on methods help children see how fractions work in real-life contexts, making the subject both meaningful and memorable.

• Visual representation of fractions
• Converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages
• Simplifying and comparing fractions
• Solving word problems involving fractions

The goal is to ensure students leave with a more confident and flexible approach to working with fractions, ready to tackle more advanced topics in the coming school terms.

What’s Included?

In addition to the live workshop, each student receives a downloadable mini booklet. This booklet contains concise explanations, practice worksheets, and worked solutions, making it easy to revise key points after the session.
Participants also get access to online mock tests designed to help them apply what they’ve learned in a timed setting. These practice tests are a useful way to check progress and get used to exam-style questions.

Who It’s For?

The workshop is open to Year 5 students who are looking to build confidence in fractions, whether for schoolwork, general improvement, or preparation for the 11 Plus exams. The sessions are suitable for all learning levels and are especially helpful for those who benefit from structured, step-by-step teaching.

Workshop Timing and Format

Avidator offers multiple time slots across weekdays and weekends to suit different schedules. Parents can choose the most convenient session for their child, with flexible evening and morning options available.
Because the workshop is held online, children can take part from the comfort of home, and no travel is required. All they need is a quiet space, internet access, and a device such as a tablet or laptop.

Supporting Independent Learning

One of the workshop’s strengths is how it encourages children to think independently. Rather than relying solely on memorisation, students are taught to understand the “why” behind the methods. This deeper understanding builds a stronger maths foundation and helps learners become more self-reliant.
By the end of the sessions, many students find that their approach to fractions has shifted from uncertainty to curiosity and from confusion to confidence.

A Solid Step Towards Future Success

While the workshop does not promise specific outcomes, it provides structured support, practical resources, and an encouraging atmosphere for learning. For children in Year 5, it’s a timely opportunity to reinforce key maths skills and take the next step in their learning journey.

If you’re looking for a way to make fractions a little less daunting and a lot more fun Avidator’s Ultimate Year 5 Maths Workshop could be just the right fit.
