Fractions Worksheet Generator
Fractions practice that prints in seconds. Pick a mode — add and subtract fractions with like or unlike denominators, fill in the missing number in equivalent fractions (1/2 = ?/8), identify the shaded fraction, shade a given fraction, or compare two fractions with <, >, =. Pick the denominators to drill, regenerate fresh problems, and print with an optional answer key. Tuned for 2nd through 5th grade.
Fractions worksheet questions
How do the adding and subtracting fractions problems work?
Choose like denominators (2/5 + 1/5) or unlike denominators (1/2 + 1/3), and addition, subtraction or both. Unlike pairs always share a common denominator of 24 or less, and subtraction always puts the larger fraction first, so no answer is negative or zero.
What does the answer key show for adding and subtracting?
The answer over the common denominator, then the simplest form when it differs. An answer greater than 1 is written as a mixed number, for example 3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 = 1 1/2.
What do the equivalent fractions problems look like?
One fraction is given and the other is missing its numerator or its denominator, like 1/2 = ?/8 or 3/4 = 9/?. The new denominator is 2 to 5 times the original (or another denominator from your chosen set), so every answer is a whole number.
Which grade is each denominator set for?
Halves, thirds and quarters suit 2nd grade, thirds through eighths 3rd grade, denominators 2–10 4th grade and tenths and twelfths 5th grade. Toggle single denominators to focus on exactly what your child is learning.
