Fraction Worksheets

Printable fraction practice covering addition, subtraction and multiplication on one sheet. Both operands are proper fractions, denominators go up to twelve, and answers are given in lowest terms as mixed numbers rather than left improper.

Denominators are mixed by default, so some problems can be added straight across and others need a common denominator found first - which is the judgement students actually have to make. Narrow it with the Denominators setting when you want to drill one or the other, or untick operations above to spend a sheet on a single skill.

Frequently asked questions

What fraction skills do these worksheets cover?

Adding, subtracting and multiplying proper fractions, with like or unlike denominators. Division of fractions is available too - tick it in the operations above.
