About these worksheets
These worksheets introduce the concept of fractions from the ground up. Activities include naming fractions from words and pictures, writing fractions from visual models, identifying correct fraction representations, partitioning shapes into equal parts, determining whether fractions equal zero, one-half, or one whole, examining fraction values between whole numbers, comparing relative fraction sizes, finding reciprocals, and expressing fractions in words and numbers. Resources span first through fifth grade.
1g3
- Match a written fraction name (like “three fourths”) to the correct fraction.
- Use the denominator to tell how many equal parts the whole is split into.
- Use the numerator to tell how many parts are being counted.
2g3
- Read a fraction and say its name using the right word for the denominator (like halves, thirds, or fourths).
- Match a written fraction name to the correct fraction.
- Use the denominator to tell how many equal parts the whole is split into.
- Use the numerator to tell how many parts are being counted.
3nf1
- Match a written fraction to a picture that shows the same amount shaded.
- Tell how many equal parts the whole is split into and how many parts are shaded.
- Notice when pictures show different-sized parts and choose only models with equal parts.
3g2
- Split a shape into equal-size parts and explain that each part is the same area.
- Spot when parts are not equal and know that they do not make fair fractions.

About these worksheets
Students practice placing fractions on a number line, a key skill for understanding fraction size and order. Worksheets cover locating fractions between 0 and 1, partitioning and labeling number lines, placing fractions between whole numbers, and working with positive and negative fractions on a number line. Aligned with third through sixth grade standards.
3nf2a
- Find where a fraction belongs between 0 and 1 on a number line.
- Use the denominator to see how many equal parts the whole is split into on the number line.
- Use the numerator to count how many parts to move from 0 to reach the fraction.
- Use benchmarks like 0, 1/2, and 1 to decide if a fraction is closer to the start, middle, or end.
3nf2b
- Find where a fraction belongs on a number line between 0 and 1.
- Use the denominator to see how many equal parts the whole is split into on the number line.
- Use the numerator to count how many parts from 0 to reach the fraction’s point.
- Recognize benchmark points like 0, 1/2, and 1 to help place and compare fractions.
6ns6c
- Practice placing positive and negative fractions in the right spot on a number line.
- Learn to tell whether a fraction belongs to the left or right of 0.
- Use the spacing between tick marks to match a fraction to its correct location.
3nf3c
- Find where a fraction belongs between two whole numbers on a number line.
- Use the denominator to split a number line segment into equal parts.
- Match a fraction to the correct tick mark by counting equal jumps from 0 or from a whole number.
- Explain why a fraction is closer to 0, 1, or another whole number based on its size.
- Practice finding where an improper fraction belongs on a number line.
- Break an improper fraction into whole numbers and a leftover fraction to see which two whole numbers it falls between.
- Use the denominator to count equal parts between whole numbers on the number line.

About these worksheets
Students build fluency with fraction multiplication and division through a wide range of activities. Worksheets cover multiplying fractions by whole numbers and by other fractions, using visual models and number lines, estimating fraction products, cross-cancelling, dividing unit fractions, interpreting fractions as division, distributing fractional amounts, and solving word problems. Topics span fourth through sixth grade Common Core standards.
5nf7b
- Understand what it means to divide by a unit fraction using a picture or model.
- Use visual models to see how many 1/b-sized parts fit into a given fraction or whole amount.
- Connect the visual model to the idea that dividing by a unit fraction makes the answer larger.
Equivalent Fractions

About these worksheets
Students learn to create, identify, and work with equivalent fractions. Activities include using visual models and number lines to find equivalent fractions, reducing fractions to simplest form, finding missing numerators or denominators, recognizing equivalent fraction patterns, writing whole numbers as fractions, and simplifying mixed numbers with improper fraction parts. Aligned with third through fourth grade standards.
3nf3a
- Use a number line to see where a fraction lands between 0 and 1.
- Find an equivalent fraction by splitting the same number line into more equal parts.
- Match two fractions that point to the same spot on a number line.
3nf3c
- Recognize that any whole number can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1.
- Write whole numbers in fraction form (like 5 as 5/1).
Converting Fractions

About these worksheets
These worksheets focus on converting between different fraction forms. Students practice converting fractions to whole numbers, changing improper fractions to mixed numbers, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, and matching visual models to both forms. Aligned with third and fourth grade standards.
3nf3c
- Turn a fraction into a whole number when it represents a complete group (like 6/3 = 2).
- Turn a whole number into an equivalent fraction (like 7 = 63/9).
Comparing Fractions, Decimals & Percents

About these worksheets
Students develop fluency in comparing and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. Worksheets include numeric fraction comparison, finding equivalent values across all three forms, using visual models and number lines, and working with number wheels. These resources help students see fractions, decimals, and percents as different representations of the same quantity. Aligned with fourth grade and above.
- Compare a fraction and a decimal to decide which one is larger.
- Use a number line to see where each value falls between 0 and 1 (or between whole numbers).
- Use benchmark values like 0, 0.5, and 1 to judge which number is closer to the right side of the number line.
- Read a shaded section on a number wheel and name it as a fraction of the whole.
- Read a shaded section on a number wheel and name it as a decimal value.
- Read a number wheel and figure out what fraction of the whole is shaded.
- Read a number wheel and figure out what decimal amount of the whole is shaded.
