Fractions Worksheet Generator

Fraction sheets are fiddly to write because the answers are fiddly: an answer left as 4/6 rather than 2/3 is the kind of thing that quietly teaches the wrong habit. Every answer here is given in its simplest form, and the checking enforces exactly that — an answer equal in value but not fully simplified is rejected as firmly as one that is simply wrong.

School year

Sets the level below to the number range usually worked with at that age. Move the level afterwards if it is not right for this child.

What to practise

Level

How many questions

Between 1 and 100.

Columns

How the sheet is laid out, 1 to 4.

Seed (optional)

A word reproduces exactly the same sheet.

Paper size

Print size

Margin

Millimetres of blank edge, 5 to 40.

Turn the paper sideways

How to print this, or save it as a PDF

There is no PDF to download, and there does not need to be. Open the print command in your browser and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. The page addresses and dates a browser normally prints across the top and bottom are already kept off.
Set the scale to 100%, not “fit to page”. This sheet is already the exact size of the paper you chose, so anything that resizes it makes every measurement on it wrong.
Leave the paper size in the dialog set to the same one you chose here.

Your worksheet will appear here.

What this generator does

Produces a numbered sheet of fraction questions at the level you choose, with an answer key in which every fraction is reduced as far as it goes, and a line of working for each.

How to use this tool

Choose what to practise — adding, multiplying, simplifying, comparing and so on.
Choose a level, which sets how large the denominators get.
Set the number of questions and the layout.
Show the answers when you want the key, with a line of working for each.

Understanding the controls

What to practise: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, simplifying, equivalent fractions, or comparing two fractions.
School year: One option per year, under all three names it goes by. It sets the level below to the range that age usually works with, and you can move it afterwards.
Level: Sets how large the denominators get, from sixths at the first level up to twenty-fifths at the sixth.
How many questions: One to a hundred. No question is set twice on the same sheet.
Columns: How many run side by side, from one to four.
Paper size and print size: A4, A5, A3, US Letter or Legal, portrait or landscape, with the margin in millimetres and a compact, standard or large-print setting. The sheet count updates as you change them.
Seed: Type a word to get the same sheet back another day.

Common use cases

Practice on one fraction operation at a time
Homework with a matching answer key
Revision before a test on fractions
Building up from small denominators to larger ones
The same sheet twice: one blank, one marked

How this generator works

Each question is read back from the page and evaluated in exact whole-number arithmetic, so no rounding is involved anywhere. Simplification questions are checked twice over: the answer must equal the original in value, and nothing above one may divide its top and bottom. Subtractions are arranged so the answer never goes below zero, and comparison questions never set two fractions that are actually equal.

Randomness and fairness

Which fractions appear is drawn using the browser's secure generator, within the denominators the level allows. A seed rebuilds the same sheet exactly — deterministic, not cryptographic, and meant for printing a sheet twice rather than for anything needing unpredictability.

For how randomness is produced across the whole site, see how Generate Random works.

Limitations and good to know

Proper fractions only in the questions; answers may come out above one where the arithmetic takes them there.
Mixed numbers are not used, so an answer appears as 7/4 rather than 1¾.
Decimals and percentages are covered elsewhere, not here.
The sheet copies as plain text rather than typeset fractions, so a stacked layout needs a word processor.
Nothing Fractions Worksheet Generator produces is kept once the page closes — the seed is the only way back to the same output.

Privacy and your data

Every fraction is generated in your browser. Nothing about the sheet you build is transmitted or stored.
