Fractions Worksheets for Teachers
Printable fractions worksheets and lesson plans for grades 3–6. Identifying, comparing, adding, and multiplying fractions — plus mixed numbers and fraction word problems.
What Students Practice
These worksheets and lesson plans cover fractions from basic identification through operations — organized by skill to make it easy to find the right resource for your students.
Identifying Fractions
Recognize and name fractions for shaded regions, number lines, and sets of objects. Covers halves, quarters, eighths, and sixteenths with multiple worksheet formats.
Equivalent Fractions
Find and recognize fractions that represent the same amount. Builds understanding of numerator-denominator relationships — a core skill for fraction operations.
Comparing Fractions
Use symbols and visual models to compare fractions with unlike denominators. Includes the least common multiple method for upper elementary students.
Adding & Subtracting Fractions
Practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, then unlike denominators. Includes visual models and standard algorithm practice.
Multiplying Fractions
Multiply fractions by whole numbers and by other fractions, including with mixed numbers. Connects visual fraction models to the standard procedure.
Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions
Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions. Practice with both forms in context — solving problems and checking answers with both representations.

Using Fractions Worksheets in Class
Fractions are one of the most challenging — and most important — math topics in upper elementary. These worksheets and lesson plans work best after visual or concrete fraction instruction, when students can connect a printed fraction to a model they have already worked with.
- Begin with visual fraction models — fraction bars, circles, and sets — before moving to abstract notation
- Use the identifying fractions worksheets after students understand what numerator and denominator mean
- Introduce equivalent fractions with manipulatives before moving to abstract comparison or calculation
- Pair comparing fractions worksheets with a number line students can mark and reference
- Teach adding fractions with like denominators before introducing unlike denominators
- Use the lesson plans as the core instruction, then assign worksheets as independent practice or homework
