How it works

  1. Tick the question types you want: name the fraction, compare, equivalent, add and subtract.
  2. Set the largest denominator and how many questions you need.
  3. Download the PDF with the answer key, or copy a share link that restores these settings.

Using these worksheets in teaching

Fractions go wrong when the symbols arrive before the picture. Start with shaded bars so a fraction is visibly "so many of so many equal parts", then compare fractions that share a denominator, then fractions that share a numerator, before mixing the two. Equivalence is the hinge: once a student sees that one half and three sixths shade the same length of bar, comparing — and later adding unlike fractions — stops feeling arbitrary. Keep denominators small until naming and comparing are automatic, which for most classes is the whole of the first term of fractions work in primary maths.

Frequently asked questions

Which question types are available?
Four: name the shaded fraction from a bar model, compare two fractions, complete an equivalent fraction, and add or subtract two fractions with the same denominator. Any combination can appear on one worksheet.
Do the questions use pictures?
The "name the fraction" questions print a bar divided into equal parts with some of them shaded — the model most classrooms use before moving to symbols alone.
How do I control the difficulty?
The largest denominator setting (6, 8, 10 or 12) sets the ceiling. Halves, thirds and quarters are the easiest families; tenths and twelfths suit students who are already secure with the simpler ones.
Do answers need simplifying?
No. Addition and subtraction questions share a denominator and the answer key gives the result in the same family, so students are practising the operation rather than simplifying at the same time.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Turn on the answer key and it is added as clearly labelled pages at the end of the same PDF.
