Practise specific Fractions skills
What Your Child Will Learn
Grade 5 fraction work centers on equivalent fractions, simplifying, comparing and ordering fractions, and connecting fractions to decimals and percents. Students use models and numeric reasoning to see why 1/4, 0.25, and 25% can describe the same quantity.
Students continue practising like-denominator addition and subtraction where appropriate, but the major emphasis is representational fluency: moving between fraction forms, simplifying answers, and using benchmarks such as 0, 1/2, and 1. Fraction concepts are applied to measurement, probability, and data analysis.
Skills Covered
- Finding and using equivalent fractions
- Simplifying fractions to lowest terms
- Comparing and ordering fractions with benchmarks
- Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
- Converting between fractions, decimals, and percents
- Solving multi-step fraction word problems
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): representing, comparing, simplifying, and connecting fractions with decimals and percents.
Parent Tip: Ask your child to explain why two forms are equal, not just convert them. A hundred grid, number line, or fraction strip makes 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% visible.
What your child will practice
- Fractions, Decimals, PercentagesRepresent fractions, decimal numbers, and percents, and show their relationships.
- Operations with FractionsAdd and subtract fractions with like denominators.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
Why do students struggle with fractions?
Fractions require understanding parts of a whole, which is more abstract than counting. Using visual models like fraction bars and number lines helps build intuition.
How can I help my child with fractions at home?
Use real-life examples: cooking (measuring cups), pizza slices, and sharing equally. These concrete experiences make fractions meaningful.
What fraction skills should my child know by grade level?
Grade 3: identifying and comparing simple fractions. Grade 4: equivalent fractions and adding with like denominators. Grade 5-6: all four operations with fractions and mixed numbers.
