Fraction worksheets 1
Fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

This worksheet generator produces a variety of worksheets for the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with fractions and mixed numbers. You can choose to use like or unlike fractions, and control the values of numerator/denominator.  The font size and cellpadding will determine the amount of empty space.

Tip: chose value 1 to be a fraction and value 2 to be a mixed number, and then tick the box of "Value 1 - Value 2 random switching" to make problems where either the first or the second number is a mixed number.  Just experiment with the options to customize the worksheets as you like!

My second fraction workshet generator makes worksheets for equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, and converting fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa.
