These equivalent fractions worksheets are generated rather than scanned, which means you can print a different sheet every day of the week without paying for a subscription or running out of practice. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 6/8 = □/24 and 8/9 = 16/□; the key lists 18 and 18 next to their question numbers.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
Simplifying a fraction means dividing the top and bottom by the same number until nothing else divides both. 6/8 = □/24 reduces to 18, and the value never changed — only the way it is written.
A quick divisibility check saves time on a fraction like 8/9 = 16/□: even numbers halve, digit sums divisible by three divide by three, numbers ending in 0 or 5 divide by five.
This sheet uses denominators up to 54, chosen so that most fractions genuinely reduce rather than being already in lowest terms — 3/4 = □/12 is a fair example of it.
Equivalent fractions and simplifying are the same idea travelling in opposite directions, and children who see that handle common denominators far more easily.
Teachers usually place equivalent fractions worksheets alongside the equivalent fractions expectations for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6/8 = □/24 | 18 | Watch for: assuming every fraction simplifies |
| 2 | 8/9 = 16/□ | 18 | Check: dividing only the numerator |
| 3 | 2/3 = 6/□ | 9 | Look at: stopping at the first common factor |
| 4 | 1/6 = □/36 | 6 | Ask about: losing the fraction line |
| 5 | 3/4 = □/12 | 9 | Watch for: subtracting instead of dividing |
| 6 | 1/2 = □/8 | 4 | Check: cancelling digits rather than factors |
A good first problem to do together is 6/8 = □/24, which comes out at 18. Do 6/8 = □/24 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.
The item 8/9 = 16/□ is worth doing slowly. The answer to 8/9 = 16/□ is 18, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.
Every generated sheet carries its own key on a separate printed page, which lets a child self-mark without seeing the answers while they work.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 8/9 = 16/□ can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
Printing works the same on US Letter and A4, because the layout uses relative widths rather than fixed inches. Set margins to default and scaling to 100%, and all 20 problems fit.
Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.
When these become easy, move along the related links below rather than adding more problems to the same sheet.
