have a go at this packman style game to simplify fractions. Mathman.
Here is a really good video explaining how do to this (so you can teach Mum and Dad!).

Circles and Squares

We are looking at different ways to subtract when the number you are subtracting has larger digits in it. E.g. 23-17. Look at all of the ways the squares thought of to solve this problem.

Triangles

We are learning to subtract by splitting a number into parts and going to a tidy number.
E.g. 13-5 as 13-3=10, 10-2=8
To be good at this we need to be really good at our number bonds to ten and basic facts to 10.
