Fractions Worksheets

Welcome to the fractions worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where the cup is half full! This is one of our more popular pages most likely because learning fractions is incredibly important in a person's life and it is a math topic that many approach with trepidation due to its bad rap over the years. Fractions really aren't that difficult to master especially with the support of our wide selection of worksheets.

This page includes Fractions worksheets for understanding fractions including modeling, comparing, ordering, simplifying and converting fractions and operations with fractions. We start you off with the obvious: modeling fractions. It is a great idea if students can actually understand what a fraction is, so please do spend some time with the modeling aspect. Relating modeling to real life helps a great deal too as it is much easier to relate to half a cookie than to half a square. Ask most students what you get if you add half a cookie and another half a cookie, and they'll probably let you know that it makes one delicious snack.

The other fractions worksheets on this page are devoted to helping students understand the concept of fractions. From comparing and ordering to simplifying and converting... by the time students master the material on this page, operations of fractions will be a walk in the park.

Fraction Circles

Fraction circle manipulatives are mainly used for comparing fractions, but they can be used for a variety of other purposes such as representing and identifying fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, and as probability spinners. There are a variety of options depending on your purpose. Fraction circles come in small and large versions, labeled and unlabeled versions and in three different color schemes: black and white, color, and light gray. The color scheme matches the fraction strips and use colors that are meant to show good contrast among themselves. Do note that there is a significant prevalence of color-blindness in the population, so don't rely on all students being able to differentiate the colors.

Suggested activity for comparing fractions: Photocopy the black and white version onto an overhead projection slide and another copy onto a piece of paper. Alternatively, you can use two pieces of paper and hold them up to the light for this activity. Use a pencil to represent the first fraction on the paper copy. Use a non-permanent overhead pen to represent the second fraction. Lay the slide over the paper and compare the two circles. You should easily be able to tell which is greater or lesser or if the two fractions are equal. Re-use both sheets by erasing the pencil and washing off the marker.

Adding fractions with fraction circles will involve two copies on paper. Cut out the fraction circles and segments of one copy and leave the other copy intact. To add 1/3 + 1/2, for example, place a 1/3 segment and a 1/2 segment into a circle and hold it over various fractions on the intact copy to see what 1/2 + 1/3 is equivalent to. 5/6 or 10/12 should work.

Fraction Strips

Fractions strips are often used for comparing fractions. Students are able to see quite easily the relationships and equivalence between fractions with different denominators. It can be quite useful for students to have two copies: one copy cut into strips and the other copy kept intact. They can then use the cut-out strips on the intact page to individually compare fractions. For example, they can use the halves strip to see what other fractions are equivalent to one-half. This can also be accomplished with a straight edge such as a ruler without cutting out any strips. Pairs or groups of strips can also be compared side-by-side if they are cut out. Addition and subtraction (etc.) are also possibilities; for example, adding a one-quarter and one-third can be accomplished by shifting the thirds strip so that it starts at the end of one-quarter then finding a strip that matches the end of the one-third mark (7/12 should do it).

Teachers might consider copying the fraction strips onto overhead projection acetates for whole class or group activities. Acetate versions are also useful as a hands-on manipulative for students in conjunction with an uncut page.

The "Smart" Fraction Strips include strips in a more useful order, eliminate the 7ths and 11ths strips as they don't have any equivalents and include 15ths and 16ths. The colors are consistent with the classic versions, so the two sets can be combined.

Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Comparing fractions involves deciding which of two fractions is greater in value or if the two fractions are equal in value. There are generally four methods that can be used for comparing fractions. First is to use common denominators . If both fractions have the same denominator, comparing the fractions simply involves comparing the numerators. Equivalent fractions can be used to convert one or both fractions, so they have common denominators. A second method is to convert both fractions to a decimal and compare the decimal numbers. Visualization is the third method. Using something like fraction strips , two fractions can be compared with a visual tool. The fourth method is to use a cross-multiplication strategy where the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by the denominator of the second fraction; then the numerator of the second fraction is multiplied by the denominator of the first fraction. The resulting products can be compared to decide which fraction is greater (or if they are equal).

• Comparing Proper Fractions Comparing Proper Fractions to Sixths ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Ninths (No Sevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Ninths ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Twelfths (No Sevenths; No Elevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Twelfths ✎

The worksheets in this section also include improper fractions. This might make the task of comparing even easier for some questions that involve both a proper and an improper fraction. If students recognize one fraction is greater than one and the other fraction is less than one, the greater fraction will be obvious.

• Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions to Sixths ✎ Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions to Ninths (No Sevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions to Ninths ✎ Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions to Twelfths (No Sevenths; No Elevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper and Improper Fractions to Twelfths ✎ Comparing Improper Fractions to Sixths ✎ Comparing Improper Fractions to Ninths (No Sevenths) ✎ Comparing Improper Fractions to Ninths ✎ Comparing Improper Fractions to Twelfths (No Sevenths; No Elevenths) ✎ Comparing Improper Fractions to Twelfths ✎

This section additionally includes mixed fractions. When comparing mixed and improper fractions, it is useful to convert one of the fractions to the other's form either in writing or mentally. Converting to a mixed fraction is probably the better route since the first step is to compare the whole number portions, and if one is greater than the other, the proper fraction portion can be ignored. If the whole number portions are equal, the proper fractions must be compared to see which number is greater.

• Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions to Sixths ✎ Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions to Ninths (No Sevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions to Ninths ✎ Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions to Twelfths (No Sevenths; No Elevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions to Twelfths ✎

Many of the same strategies that work for comparing fractions also work for ordering fractions. Using manipulatives such as fraction strips, using number lines, or finding decimal equivalents will all have your student(s) putting fractions in the correct order in no time. We've probably said this before, but make sure that you emphasize that when comparing or ordering fractions, students understand that the whole needs to be the same. Comparing half the population of Canada with a third of the population of the United States won't cut it. Try using some visuals to reinforce this important concept. Even though we've included number lines below, feel free to use your own strategies.

Simplifying & Converting Fractions Worksheets

Rounding fractions helps students to understand fractions a little better and can be applied to estimating answers to fractions questions. For example, if one had to estimate 1 4/7 × 6, they could probably say the answer was about 9 since 1 4/7 is about 1 1/2 and 1 1/2 × 6 is 9.

Learning how to simplify fractions makes a student's life much easier later on when learning operations with fractions. It also helps them to learn that different-looking fractions can be equivalent. One way of demonstrating this is to divide out two equivalent fractions. For example 3/2 and 6/4 both result in a quotient of 1.5 when divided. By practicing simplifying fractions, students will hopefully recognize unsimplified fractions when they start adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with fractions.

Multiplying Fractions

Multiplying fractions is usually less confusing operationally than any other operation and can be less confusing conceptually if approached in the right way. The algorithm for multiplying is simply multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. The magic word in understanding the multiplication of fractions is, "of." For example what is two-thirds OF six? What is a third OF a half? When you use the word, "of," it gets much easier to visualize fractions multiplication. Example: cut a loaf of bread in half, then cut the half into thirds. One third OF a half loaf of bread is the same as 1/3 x 1/2 and tastes delicious with butter.

Dividing Fractions

Conceptually, dividing fractions is probably the most difficult of all the operations, but we're going to help you out. The algorithm for dividing fractions is just like multiplying fractions, but you find the inverse of the second fraction or you cross-multiply. This gets you the right answer which is extremely important especially if you're building a bridge. We told you how to conceptualize fraction multiplication, but how does it work with division? Easy! You just need to learn the magic phrase: "How many ____'s are there in ______? For example, in the question 6 ÷ 1/2, you would ask, "How many halves are there in 6?" It becomes a little more difficult when both numbers are fractions, but it isn't a giant leap to figure it out. 1/2 ÷ 1/4 is a fairly easy example, especially if you think in terms of U.S. or Canadian coins. How many quarters are there in a half dollar?

Adding Fractions

Adding fractions requires the annoying common denominator. Make it easy on your students by first teaching the concepts of equivalent fractions and least common multiples. Once students are familiar with those two concepts, the idea of finding fractions with common denominators for adding becomes that much easier. Spending time on modeling fractions will also help students to understand fractions addition. Relating fractions to familiar examples will certainly help. For example, if you add a 1/2 banana and a 1/2 banana, you get a whole banana. What happens if you add a 1/2 banana and 3/4 of another banana?

A common strategy to use when adding mixed fractions is to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, complete the addition, then switch back. Another strategy which requires a little less brainpower is to look at the whole numbers and fractions separately. Add the whole numbers first. Add the fractions second. If the resulting fraction is improper, then it needs to be converted to a mixed number. The whole number portion can be added to the original whole number portion.

Subtracting Fractions

There isn't a lot of difference between adding and subtracting fractions. Both require a common denominator which requires some prerequisite knowledge. The only difference is the second and subsequent numerators are subtracted from the first one. There is a danger that you might end up with a negative number when subtracting fractions, so students might need to learn what it means in that case. When it comes to any concept in fractions, it is always a good idea to relate it to a familiar or easy-to-understand situation. For example, 7/8 - 3/4 = 1/8 could be given meaning in the context of a race. The first runner was 7/8 around the track when the second runner was 3/4 around the track. How far ahead was the first runner? (1/8 of the track).

Solving problems

14.5 solving problems, worked example 14.9: working with money.

Two friends reach into their pockets and pull out the change they have. Ahmed has \(\text{R}\,\text{2,25}\) and Sujatha has \(\text{R}\,\text{2,55}\). Who has more money? Which amount is larger?

Use your knowledge to find the answer.

We have two numbers, and we must decide which of them is bigger: \(\text{R}\,\text{2,25}\) or \(\text{R}\,\text{2,55}\). Your experience with money probably helps you understand which number is bigger, and who has more money!

Use a number line to check your answer.

It is also helpful to mark the numbers on the number line. The number \(\text{2,25}\) sits exactly in the middle of \(\text{2,2}\) and \(\text{2,3}\). Remember that \(\text{2,2} = \text{2,20}\) and \(\text{2,3} = \text{2,30}\) and between them are these ten numbers: \(\text{2,21}\) and \(\text{2,22}\) and \(\text{2,23}\) and so on, up to \(\text{2,29}\) and then \(\text{2,30}\).

\(\text{2,25}\) is in the middle of these ten divisions. You can see this on the number line below.

The number \(\text{2,55}\) sits in the middle of \(\text{2,50}\) and \(\text{2,60}\).

For two numbers on the number line, the one on the right is always greater than the one on the left. Therefore, \(\text{2,55}\) must be the bigger number. This makes sense because \(\text{R}\,\text{2,55}\) is more money than \(\text{R}\,\text{2,25}\).

Remember that the inequality symbol always opens to the larger number, like a creature eating the larger snack! It is like this:

Therefore, the correct answer is: Sujatha has more money because \(\text{R}\,\text{2,25} < \text{R}\,\text{2,55}\). (In words, the inequality means, “\(\text{R}\,\text{2,25}\) is less than \(\text{R}\,\text{2,55}\)”.)

You will see decimal numbers in calculations with different measurements. For example, when calculating the perimeter or area of a shape, the side measurements could be given in decimal notation.

The side of this regular heptagon is \(\text{9,1} \text{ mm}\). To find its perimeter, you need to add all the sides or multiply the \(\text{9,1} \text{ mm}\) side length by \(7\):

If we walk all the way around the shape we walk \(\text{9,1} \text{ mm}\) seven times, so

Worked Example 14.10 Calculating area with decimals

Consider the following rectangle.

• Determine the perimeter of the rectangle and select the correct unit.
• Determine the area of the rectangle and select the correct unit.

Determine the perimeter by adding all the sides.

To find the perimeter of a polygon, we add up all of the sides as if we are walking around the edge of the shape. Perimeter is a distance, so it is measured in units of length (such as centimetres, metres or kilometres).

If we start at Point J and walk around the shape, we get

The opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length. If we let one side be \(l\) and the other side be \(b\), then the perimeter is \[\begin{align} P &= l + b + l + b \\ &= 2l + 2b \end{align}\]

Determine the area by calculating the number of square centimetres taken up by the shape.

To calculate the area of the rectangle, we must work out how many square centimetres (\(\text{cm}^{2}\)) will fit in the space.

We use the formula for area of a rectangle:
