Fraction exercises for Grade 5. Teach students halves, quarters, and parts. Download PDF worksheets at home to help your child master the basics of fractions.
Fraction exercises for Grade 5 to print and practice
In Grade 5, the study of fractions deepens: students learn to compare, add, subtract, or place them on a number line. To support this progression, we provide fraction worksheets designed to build understanding and mastery step by step.
Each printable PDF worksheet allows practice at school or at home. The proposed math activities cover different aspects: reading and writing fractions, graphical representation, equivalences, calculations with common denominators or different denominators, and solving problems.
These exercises reinforce the foundations acquired in Grade 4 fractions, while consolidating learning with more complex and concrete situations.
Designed to clarify concepts that can sometimes seem abstract, these materials offer a structured progression, with clear instructions and concrete examples.
An example of a fraction exercise to do at home
To strengthen learning of fractions in Grade 5, you can suggest simple and visual activities at home. For example, use a cooking recipe and propose adjustments: “If the recipe is for 4 people, how much flour is needed for 6?” or “How do we divide 3/4 of a liter into two equal parts?”
Another idea: use paper strips or everyday objects to represent and compare fractions (e.g., show that 4/8 is equivalent to 1/2). You can also create a domino game with equivalent fractions or simple sums.
These concrete exercises help children move from manipulation to reasoning, giving meaning to calculations. They make fractions in Grade 5 more accessible, clear, and motivating to practice daily.
Fraction worksheets in Grade 5 to print and practice independently
To help students master fractions in Grade 5, myBlee Math offers printable educational worksheets, designed for regular, progressive, and accessible practice. Each sheet covers key concepts: reading and writing fractions, comparisons, equivalences, addition and subtraction of fractions, as well as their use in real-world problems.
Designed to encourage independence, these worksheets can be used at school or at home, in short but effective sessions. They allow each student to progress at their own pace, strengthen understanding, and gain confidence with fraction calculations.
In addition, the math app myBlee Math app offers interactive exercises guided by a clear voice-over. Students are supported step by step, can see their mistakes, and train dynamically to strengthen their understanding of fractions in Grade 5.
Discover the appFrequently asked questions
Learning fractions in Grade 5 often raises questions, especially as concepts become more technical. To support students, we provide simple answers to the most common questions: How do you read a fraction? How do you understand its meaning or decompose it? These clear explanations help build a strong foundation for confident progress, at school or at home.
How do you read and write fractions in Grade 5?
To read a fraction in Grade 5, read the top number (the numerator) first, then the bottom number (the denominator). For example, 3/4 is read “three quarters.” To write it, place a slash between the two numbers.
How to easily understand fractions?
To easily understand fractions, represent them visually: a fraction shows a part of a whole. For example, 1/2 means one half. Handling objects or drawing parts helps children grasp the concept better.
How do you decompose a fraction in Grade 5?
To decompose a fraction in Grade 5, you express it as a sum of simpler fractions. For example, 5/4 can be written as 1 + 1/4, that is, one whole part and one fractional part. This makes fractions easier to understand.
