Fractions Review

One sheet covering six skills instead of one: simplifying, equivalent fractions, comparing, mixed and improper numbers, finding a fraction of a whole number, and writing a fraction as a decimal. Twelve problems means exactly two of each, because the page draws a fair sequence rather than picking each question at random - no skill is missing from a sheet that has room for it, and where a count does not divide evenly the spare questions are handed out at random rather than always to the first skills in the list.

What is deliberately not here is arithmetic or pictures. Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing each have their own page, and the drawn questions are on Fraction Models. This sheet is about reading and rewriting fraction notation, which is the part that tends to go quiet once a class has moved on to operations.

Frequently asked questions

Which skills appear on the sheet?

Simplifying, equivalent fractions, comparing with <, > or =, mixed and improper numbers, a fraction of a whole number, and fractions written as decimals.

Will every skill appear on every sheet?

Yes, as long as the sheet has room. Twelve problems across six skills gives two of each; at counts that do not divide evenly the spare questions go to skills chosen at random.

Does it include adding and subtracting fractions?

No - those have their own pages. This sheet is notation rather than arithmetic, so it can cover six skills without any one of them taking the whole page.

Is there a review sheet with pictures?

Fraction Models mixes the two drawn question types. Pictures are kept on their own page because a readable bar needs several times the space a written fraction does.
