SIMPLIFYING / REDUCING FRACTIONS PACKET
Reducing fractions with variety!
Give your students some challenging work with these 3 printable worksheets on reducing fractions. They are Not for the beginner as these are quite difficult. Here is what you'll get:
Page 1 - students reduce fractions that are written out IN WORDS just to make them "think" a little more; example: "reduce sixteen twentieths"; (20 examples written out like this)
Page 2 - true or false reducing also written out IN WORDS; example: "does seven twenty firsts = two thirds, true or false"; (20 examples written out like this) this will make them think for sure!
Page 3 - Fraction Balloons; students see a set of balloons with fractions in them and a set of boxes with their reduced counterparts; they must match each balloon with the correct box; (15 examples like this)
Your download of 6 pages includes answers. Decorated for fun.
* I make all my worksheets as carefully as these and have numerous others on FRACTIONS and DECIMALS for this age level. CLICK THE LINK BELOW to check them out at my store. Thanks...and great teaching to you!
