Fraction Question Generator
Builds a sheet of fraction questions at the level you ask for. Every answer is given in its lowest terms and checked to be so, and a fraction of an amount always comes out whole.
What this generator does
Draws a fraction simplification or addition question with the answer hidden. Addition questions are constructed with denominators chosen to have a workable common multiple, because a pair drawn at random produces denominators like 47 and 53 most of the time — arithmetically valid and useless for practice.
How to use this tool
- Choose a level and how many questions you want.
- Press make questions and work through the sheet.
- Show the answers to mark it, or show the working to see the common denominator each sum uses.
- Enter a seed word to rebuild the same sheet later.
Common use cases
- Fraction practice at home or school
- Quick maths warm-ups
- Self-testing before a maths quiz
Randomness and fairness
Numerators and denominators are drawn with the browser's cryptographic random number generator, then constrained so that every answer is exact: a fraction of an amount always divides, and a sum is always cancelled down before it is shown. A seed word rebuilds the same sheet later; it is for reproducibility, not cryptographic strength, so a seeded sheet is deterministic rather than unpredictable.
For how randomness is produced across the whole site, see how Generate Random works.
Practical tips
- Have students state the common denominator before adding anything. Most fraction errors happen at that step, and they are invisible once the addition is written down.
