Adding and Subtracting Fractions - Worksheet

A collection of worksheets is designed to help students enhance their understanding of adding and subtracting fractions. These worksheets present a series of fraction addition and subtraction problems, some of which are accompanied by diagrams to assist in visualising the process. Students are encouraged to use these visual aids, such as shaded diagrams, to better grasp the concept of combining and separating parts of a whole. The worksheets are structured with blank spaces where students can write the results of their calculations, allowing them to practice and demonstrate their proficiency in working with fractions.

Alongside the numerical exercises, there are also word problems that contextualise the mathematical concepts within real-life scenarios. These problems require students to apply their knowledge of fractions to situations such as comparing distances walked, analysing the proportion of a film watched, and sharing food. The aim is to build a deeper understanding of fractions and their practical applications. For those seeking to verify their answers, dedicated worksheets with solutions are provided, enabling students to check their work and educators to facilitate learning effectively.
