Simplifying Fractions (B) 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 (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet starts with an image of a partially shaded rectangle that students will identify equivalent fractions from.

Section B asks learners to identify fractions that are already in their simplest form, creating the perfect opportunity for discussion.

Next, students are guided through simplifying fractions by dividing numerator and denominator by a common factor. In questions 1 - 3, the factor is given, and in questions 4 - 6, students are prompted with a numerator or denominator given in the simplified fraction.

In section D, students are given 9 proper fractions which they are to simplify independently.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
