Simplifying Fractions (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade
CCSS: 4.NF.A.1
CCSS Description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.

Simplifying Fractions (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Introduce students to the concept of simplifying fractions with this worksheet.

Here your learners are faced with partially shaded images and they must state the fraction that is shaded alongside the fraction in its simplest form. Starting simply, the images become increasingly more difficult for students to decipher the simplified fraction as the worksheet progresses.

Now try, Simplifying fractions B to learn how to simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by a common factor.
