About these fractions for 4th graders worksheets
4th grade is the big fraction year. Children learn why 2/3 = 8/12, compare fractions like 3/5 and 4/7, add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, work with mixed numbers such as 2 3/4, and multiply a fraction by a whole number.
Start with the 4th Grade Fractions Chart and the fraction strips, which go from halves all the way to twelfths. The review sheets mix every skill on one page, which makes them good for checking what a child already knows.
Each skill has its own page below with charts, models and practice. Every picture is drawn exactly, every practice page has an answer key on page 2, and everything prints in black and white on US Letter or A4.
Standards
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.1Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.B.3Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
How to use them
- Hand out the 4th Grade Fractions Chart as a reference for the year.
- Print the fraction strips on card stock so children can lay them side by side.
- Use Review Sheet A before a unit to see what children know, and Sheet B afterward.
- Move to the linked topic pages for practice on one skill at a time.
Teaching tips
- Keep asking: what is the whole, and how many equal parts is it cut into?
- Say fractions as words: three fourths, five eighths. It keeps the unit in mind.
- When adding, the denominator names the size of the parts, so it stays the same.
- Use the fraction strips to check equivalent fractions before using the rule.

What fractions do 4th graders learn?
Equivalent fractions, comparing fractions with different denominators, adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators, multiplying a fraction by a whole number, and tenths and hundredths as decimals.

Not yet. In 4th grade the denominators are the same, except adding tenths and hundredths by writing tenths as hundredths. Unlike denominators come in 5th grade.
