Choose Your Grade

Featured Fractions Practice

Grade 3 Fractions Practice

Practice grade 3 fractions with introductory fraction concepts. Third grade introduces fractions as parts of a whole, building foundational understanding.

Grade 4 Fractions Practice

Practice grade 4 fractions with equivalent fractions and simplifying. Fourth grade develops deeper understanding of fraction equivalence and reduction.

Grade 5 Fractions Practice

Practice grade 5 fractions with adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. Fifth grade develops fluency with finding common denominators.

Grade 5 Fractions Quiz

Test your grade 5 fraction skills with this quiz on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. Questions are randomized to check true understanding.

Grade 6 Fractions Practice

Practice grade 6 fractions with multiplying and dividing fractions. Sixth grade develops mastery of fraction multiplication and division algorithms.

Subtracting Fractions with Same Denominator

Practice subtracting fractions with the same denominator. When fractions have the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

Subtracting Fractions with Different Denominators

Practice subtracting fractions with different denominators. This skill requires finding a common denominator before subtracting the numerators.

Adding Mixed Numbers Practice

Practice adding mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators. Adding mixed numbers combines whole number addition with fraction operations.

Multiplying Fractions Practice

Practice multiplying fractions by multiplying numerators together and denominators together. Look for opportunities to simplify before or after multiplying.

Dividing Fractions Practice

Practice dividing fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal. Remember: to divide fractions, keep the first fraction, change to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

Comparing Fractions Practice

Practice comparing fractions to determine which is greater. Use strategies like finding common denominators, converting to decimals, or cross-multiplying.

Equivalent Fractions Practice

Practice finding equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number. Learn to simplify fractions to lowest terms.

Simplifying Fractions Practice

Practice simplifying fractions to their lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

Halves Speed Test

Practice finding half of numbers quickly with this speed test. Halving is a key mental math strategy and connects to dividing by 2.

Fraction Speed Test

Test your fraction facts speed with this quick challenge. How fast can you solve basic fraction operations? Speed builds fraction fluency.

Subtracting Mixed Numbers Practice

Practice subtracting mixed numbers. When the fraction being subtracted is larger, borrow from the whole number to regroup before subtracting.

Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

Practice converting improper fractions (where the numerator is larger than the denominator) to mixed numbers. Divide the numerator by the denominator to find whole number and remainder.

Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

Practice converting mixed numbers to improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place over the original denominator.

Fraction Word Problems Practice

Practice solving fraction word problems. Find a fraction of a quantity by multiplying, or determine what fraction one quantity is of another.

Fractions of Shapes Practice

Practice understanding fractions as parts of shapes for second grade. Divide shapes into equal parts to understand fractions visually.

Adding Fractions with Same Denominator

Learn to add fractions with the same denominator. This foundational skill leads to adding fractions with different denominators.

Adding Fractions with Different Denominators

Master adding fractions with different denominators. Learn to find common denominators and create equivalent fractions.

Fractions Speed Test

Test your fraction skills with this comprehensive speed test. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions in timed practice.

Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers Practice

Converting between improper fractions like 17/4 and mixed numbers like 4 1/4 is foundational for everything that comes next in fractions. Students who shortcut this step end up confused later when adding mixed numbers, comparing fractions to whole numbers, or simplifying answers. The trick is just division: how many times does the denominator go into the numerator (whole number), and what's left over (new numerator)? Each problem here uses different denominators and whole-number sizes so your fifth grader builds true fluency, not just one familiar pattern.

Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators Practice

Subtracting 2/3 − 1/4 requires three steps most fifth graders haven't fully internalized: find a common denominator, convert both fractions, then subtract and simplify. This drill mixes denominators from 2 to 8 so your child doesn't memorize one pattern (like halves and quarters) without really understanding the algorithm. Always ask for the answer in simplest form — if they leave 4/8 instead of writing 1/2, the work isn't quite finished. Most kids need 3-4 weeks of regular practice before this feels natural, so don't worry if it's slow at first.

Equivalent Fractions Quiz

Take this 20-question equivalent fractions quiz to check whether your fourth or fifth grader has truly mastered the concept of fractions that look different but have the same value. Each problem asks for the missing numerator that makes two fractions equivalent — exactly the skill they'll need for adding fractions with unlike denominators next. Aim for 16 out of 20 or better; anything less and the underlying multiplication facts probably need more work first. Quizzes are best taken after a few days of practice, not as the first exposure to a topic.

Comparing Fractions Quiz

This comparing fractions quiz tests whether students can decide which of two fractions is larger when the denominators don't match. There are several valid strategies — common denominators, converting to decimals, cross-multiplying — and a strong student should be able to pick the right one for the situation. Every problem in this quiz is set up so the fractions aren't equal, forcing a real comparison rather than a trick answer. Use the results to figure out whether your child needs more conceptual work or just more reps.

Simplifying Fractions Quiz

Reducing fractions to simplest form depends on quickly spotting the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator. This quiz mixes easy GCFs (2, 3) with harder ones (5, 6) so your fifth grader has to actually look at each problem rather than dividing by 2 every time. Strong scores here usually mean your child is ready to start the bigger fraction operations — adding and subtracting unlike denominators, multiplying mixed numbers — without getting tripped up on simplification at the end.

About Fractions

Fractions represent parts of a whole. Students learn to identify, compare, and operate with fractions. Understanding fractions is crucial for algebra, measurement, and real-world applications.
