Elementary School Fractions Decimals Percentages Worksheets

This collection spans kindergarten through fifth grade, covering the full elementary school progression for fractions, decimals, and percentages. Kindergarten and first grade worksheets introduce foundational fraction concepts like halves and fourths through visual models. Second and third grade materials expand to comparing fractions, introducing decimal notation for tenths and hundredths, and understanding percentages as parts of 100.

By fourth and fifth grade, students work with more complex conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages, along with practical applications like estimating shopping bills and calculating with recurring decimals. The progression follows Common Core State Standards, starting with concrete representations and moving toward abstract symbolic manipulation. Teachers notice that students who receive consistent practice across all three representations in elementary school show greater confidence when tackling proportional reasoning and linear relationships in middle school algebra courses.

These worksheets provide structured practice that moves from visual representation to symbolic manipulation, with answer keys allowing students to check their work and identify specific error patterns. Teachers can use the scaffolded subtopics—starting with comparing decimals, progressing through conversions, and culminating in applications like estimating shopping bills—to differentiate instruction based on student readiness. The answer keys make these worksheets particularly valuable for formative assessment, helping teachers quickly identify whether students struggle with computational accuracy or conceptual understanding.

Many teachers assign these worksheets during math centers or stations, pairing students to work through problems collaboratively while discussing their reasoning. They also work well for homework assignments when families want to support learning at home, spiral review to maintain skills between units, and targeted intervention for students who need additional practice with specific conversion types. The variety of subtopics means teachers can select worksheets that address the exact skill gaps revealed through classroom assessments or state testing data.
