Practice all of fractions
This mixed review moves between comparing, equivalent, simplifying and adding fractions so the ideas connect.
How to learn fractions, in order
Fractions click when the idea of equal parts comes first. Start with Comparing Fractions and Equivalent Fractions — seeing that 1/2 and 2/4 are the same amount is the key insight — then Simplifying (the reverse of making equivalents) and finally Adding Fractions. Equivalent fractions underpin both simplifying and adding unlike denominators, so it’s worth getting solid early.
Fractions by grade
- Grade 3: what a fraction is, and comparing simple fractions.
- Grade 4: equivalent fractions and adding with like denominators.
- Grade 5: simplifying and adding with unlike denominators.
Common mistakes, and how to help
The biggest one is adding denominators (writing 1/2 + 1/3 = 2/5). Denominators name the size of the parts and don’t add — a fraction bar drawing makes this obvious. The other is forgetting to simplify a correct answer; always ask “can top and bottom both be divided by the same number?”

Frequently asked questions
Is the fractions practice free?
Yes — all practice and worksheets are free, no account needed, and no ads inside the practice.
What order should fractions be learned in?
Comparing and equivalent fractions first, then simplifying, then adding — because equivalence underpins the rest.
What are equivalent fractions?
Different fractions that name the same amount, like 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6. You get them by multiplying or dividing top and bottom by the same number.
Why can’t you just add the denominators?
The denominator says how big each part is, not how many you have. You only add the numerators, and only once the denominators match.
How do you simplify a fraction?
Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor — 6/8 divided by 2 becomes 3/4.
Can I print fractions worksheets?
Yes — each skill page has a print button for a fresh 20-question sheet with an answer key.
