A fraction is a number that is the portion or part of a whole. Key to understanding fractions is understanding how to represent part of the whole. Sometimes the whole will be a pizza, a measuring cup, a bar and it is important to understand what the part is each time the whole is different.

When starting with fractions, begin by focusing on 1/2 and the 1/4 before moving into equivalent fractions and using the 4 operations with fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing). The following worksheets are the introductory level.
