Fractions & decimals Worksheets
Grades 4–6 · 3 printable sheets
Fractions and decimals are the same idea written two ways, so they sit together here. The sheets run from simplifying a single fraction to adding unlike denominators and moving a decimal point by powers of ten.
What to expect
Expect common denominators to be the hard part and the arithmetic to be the easy part. Nothing can be added until the two fractions count the same-sized pieces, and finding those pieces is a question about multiples — which is why the factors sheet sits directly before this topic in the catalog.
Where to start
Start with Fractions set to simplifying, before any adding. A child who cannot reduce 12/18 to 2/3 will not be able to finish an addition either, since every answer wants lowest terms. Then Add & Subtract Fractions, like denominators first. Decimals can come at any point once fractions make sense, and pairs well with the Rounding sheet.
