Fractions Tasks - Overview
We want to practise fractions intensively here.
To do this, we start with simple fractions .
Afterwards we practise Reducing and extending.
Can you Fractions in decimals or in Percentages convert? This is another topic!
Fractions, decimals and percentages can represent equal values. But if they are different, you can also arrange them from small to large. We have done some online exercises on this.
When we have mastered all these tasks, we will move on to fractions: Addition and subtraction, multiplication and division!

Worksheets Addition and and Subtraction with Equal Denominators
The tasks from this page as a PDF to print out:
Adding and subtracting unequal fractions
are added by bringing the fractions
to the same denominator.
Then add the numerators!
So you can add and subtract fractions if they do NOT have the same denominator (are not of the same name).
Fractions with different denominators can only be added or subtracted when the denominators are the same. To do this, you have to reduce and/or expand the fractions until they have the same denominator.
The common denominator (main denominator) results from the smallest common multiple of all denominators involved!
Examples:
(1) \(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1\cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{4}{12} +\frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12} \)
(2) \(\frac{2}{9} +\frac{1}{6} = \frac{2\cdot 2}{9 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 3}{6 \cdot 3} = \frac{4}{18} +\frac{3}{18} = \frac{7}{18} \)
You can also find more theory about fractions on Wikipedia!
Normally you do this in fractions grade 5.
Exercise (2) - Find the same denominator of 2 fractions and then add the fractions.
Add the missing numbers to the numerator of the fraction. Look carefully. The common denominator of the fractions is already there!
Exercise (3) - Write down the task and then work it out!
Add the missing numbers to the numerator and denominator of the fraction.

Fractions Grade 6 / Grade 5
We first add and subtract two fractions and find the main denominator and then the solution. Then we calculate tasks with several summands and also with brackets!
