Free Equivalent Fractions Worksheets
Create an unlimited supply of worksheets for equivalent fractions (grades 4-5)! The worksheets can be made in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. You can also customize them using the generator below.
Students usually encounter the concept of equivalent fractions in 4th grade (such as 1/2 = 5/10). Visual models are essential in helping children to grasp this idea, and the worksheets below provide just that!
Then, in 5th grade, students learn how to add unlike fractions. This procedure involves converting the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. So, the concept of equivalent fractions is an important prerequisite to fraction addition and subtraction.
Basic instructions for the worksheets
Each worksheet is randomly generated and thus unique. The answer key is automatically generated and is placed on the second page of the file.
You can generate the worksheets either in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. To get the PDF worksheet, simply push the button titled "Create PDF" or "Make PDF worksheet". To get the worksheet in html format, push the button "View in browser" or "Make html worksheet". This has the advantage that you can save the worksheet directly from your browser (choose File → Save) and then edit it in Word or other word processing program.
Sometimes the generated worksheet is not exactly what you want. Just try again! To get a different worksheet using the same options:
- PDF format: come back to this page and push the button again.
- Html format: simply refresh the worksheet page in your browser window.

Generator
With this worksheet generator, you can make worksheets for equivalent fractions. The worksheet can include problems with visual models (pie images) or not. There are five problem types to choose from:
- Two fractions are given with 2 empty pie images to color in (e.g. 3/5 = 6/10).
- There are 2 pie images that are already colored; the student writes both fractions.
- Two pie images are given, one colored in, one not; the student writes both fractions.
- There are 2 pie images to color, one fraction is given, one not (e.g. 4/5 = / )
- Problems without any visual model; the student writes the missing numerator or denominator in one of the fractions (e.g. 2/3 = /12).
You can choose to include or not include mixed numbers and improper fractions. You can control the minimum and maximum values for the numerator and the denominator. However, for the problems with visual models, the maximum denominator is limited to 16.
