Rounding out the basic math operations for fractions, I’m pleased to announce the new division worksheets for fractions have been posted at the link below.
Like the fraction multiplication worksheets, these worksheets have detailed answer keys that show each step in the process used to calculate the answers, and they’re some of the more technically sophisticated worksheets on the site. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Work on fractions continues, and I’m pleased to welcome the new fraction multiplication worksheets to the fold. The new worksheets are broken out into different categories that deal with whole numbers in problems, as well as cross-canceling factors prior to performing the multiplication step. These steps are illustrated on the answer keys, which themselves can serve as very useful tools in teaching more complex fraction multiplication problems.
In the process of completing these, some enhancements to the answer keys for the fraction addition and fraction subtraction answer keys were made. While the answers themselves remain the same, the steps shown to reach the final answer should pick intermediate factors that are closer to what you would do by working the problem by hand.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the way the answer keys for the fraction worksheets show the steps to reach a solution… I hope they’re useful for you and your students!
You can find the new worksheets at the link below, or by using the Worksheet menu on most pages of the site.

It’s been a while since we first dipped our toe in the fraction pond with basic fraction addition worksheets… The water must have been cold, because it took a long time to finally get back to subtraction. You can find the new worksheets here…

The addition worksheets for fractions are
posted here, and if we optimistically consider only the four basic math operations, that means I’m a quarter of the way through fractions. Fortunately we only touched on fraction addition this year, so that probably gives me the summer break to get geared up for fourth grade math. I’m certain that’s going to cover a lot more of our fractional friends.
The worksheets recently have taken more effort mostly because they show detailed problem steps in the answer keys. You’ll notice on some of the more complex variations of these fraction worksheets (mixed fractions and uncommon denominators) where we break down intermediate calculations to reach the answers. This really helps with “self grading” of the worksheets because your young mathematicians can see where their calculations went off the rails.
