Reducing Fractions to Mixed Numbers

Reducing fractions is another skill involved in just about any of the fraction operations. The fraction worksheets on this page introduce reducing gradually by providing problems with increasingly more difficult denominators, and only gradually introducing mixed numbers and improper fractions.

The last set of worksheets deals with commonly encountered fractions, including percentage values. These are values that students should be able to 'site reduce' when they encounter them. Mastering these reducing problems will make many other fraction problems go much faster.
