Grade 5s need to know:
- representing fractions in different ways (e.g., on a number line, area models - colouring parts of a circle)
- equivalent fractions (e.g., 1/2 = 4/8 = 5/10)
- adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators (including adding one whole to a proper fraction and subtracting a proper fraction from one whole)
- converting improper fractions to mixed and vice versa

Grade 6s need to know:
- comparing and ordering fractions (e.g., least to greatest as well as greater than and less than symbols)
- equivalent fractions (e.g., 1/2 = 4/8 = 5/10)
- adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators (including mixed fractions) as well as multiplying and dividing whole numbers by proper fractions
- converting improper fractions to mixed and vice versa
- simplifying fractions
