About this worksheet

Fraction word problems ask a fourth grader to decide which fraction skill a story needs. Each sheet has six separate problems, one of each kind: adding fractions, subtracting fractions, a fraction of a set, a fraction times a whole number, the part still to do, and adding mixed numbers. Your child writes the answer on the line.

Find a fraction of a number in a story
Add and subtract mixed numbers in a story
