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.
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.
Multiplying Unit Fractions with Numberlines
- Understand that multiplying a unit fraction means taking that fraction of a whole number.
- Use a number line to show equal jumps of a unit fraction and find the total distance.
Multiplying Fractions & Whole Numbers
- Multiply a fraction by a whole number to find a product.
- Use a picture model to show repeated groups of the same fraction.
Multiplying Unit Fractions by Whole Numbers
- Multiply a unit fraction by a whole number to find the product.
- Use repeated addition to understand what it means to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
- Explain the result as “that many copies of the fraction” (for example, 3 × 1/4 means three one-fourths).
Multiplying Fractions by whole numbers (Visual)
- Multiply a fraction by a whole number to find the total amount.
- Use pictures or models to show what it means to take a fraction several times.
- Connect repeated addition of the same fraction to multiplication.
Multiplying Fractions by Whole Numbers
- Multiply a fraction by a whole number to find the total amount in several equal groups.
- Use repeated addition to understand what it means to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
Estimating Multiplication of Fractions
- Estimate the product of two fractions without doing exact multiplication.
- Round fractions to easy benchmark fractions like 0, 1/2, 1, or whole numbers to make mental math quicker.
- Use compatible numbers to get a close estimate for a fraction multiplication problem.
- Decide which estimate makes the most sense by comparing it to the answer choices.
Multiplying Fractions
- Multiply two fractions to find the product.
- Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions when needed to multiply.
Multiplying Fractions (visual)
- Multiply two fractions to find the product.
- Use shaded area models or grids to show what it means to multiply fractions.
Multiplying Fraction by Whole with Numberline
- Multiply a fraction by a whole number to find the total amount.
- Use a number line to show equal jumps of a fraction and count how many jumps you make.
Finding Fraction Product
- Decide whether a fraction product is greater than, less than, or equal to one of the factors.
- Use what you know about multiplying by a fraction less than 1 or greater than 1 to predict how the product will change.
Multiplying Fractions with Cross Cancelling
- Multiply two fractions to find a product.
- Cross-cancel common factors between a numerator and the other fraction’s denominator before multiplying.
- Use factor pairs to spot numbers that can be reduced.
Dividing Unit Fractions
- Divide a unit fraction by a whole number to find an equal share.
- Use the idea that dividing by a whole number makes the fraction smaller.
- Rewrite division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal to solve.
Dividing By Unit Fractions
- Divide a whole number by a unit fraction like 1/2 or 1/5.
- Use the idea that dividing by a unit fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
- Find quotients that are whole numbers and understand why the answer gets larger when you divide by a fraction less than 1.
Dividing Fractions
- Divide one fraction by another fraction.
- Use the reciprocal (flip the second fraction) and multiply to find the quotient.
- Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions when needed to divide.
