About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 10 problems subtracting fractions with fraction strips, including a strip divided into the common denominator.
This worksheet subtracts two fractions using fraction strips. The first strip shows the amount to start with, the second shows the amount taken away, and a third empty strip is cut into the common denominator so the two lengths can be lined up and compared. All three strips are drawn to the same total length, because unequal wholes cannot be compared. Every answer is already in lowest terms, so counting cells and reducing give the same result. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
