About These Worksheets
Grade 5 students find non-unit fractions of larger numbers, applying the divide-then-multiply method with growing fluency.
These worksheets on finding a fraction of a number teach students to solve problems like 'what is 3/4 of 20?' by dividing the whole number by the denominator and then multiplying by the numerator. This skill connects fractions directly to multiplication and division, showing students that fractions aren't just abstract pieces of a shape but useful tools for solving real quantities.
Problems progress from finding simple unit fractions of a number (1/2 of 12) to finding non-unit fractions of larger numbers (5/6 of 42), with visual models and grouping strategies supporting students before they move to the standard divide-then-multiply method. Word problems connect this skill to situations like splitting a recipe, calculating a discount, or determining how much of a distance has been travelled, making this one of the most practical fraction skills students learn.
Skills Practised
- Finding a unit fraction of a whole number
- Finding a non-unit fraction of a whole number
- Dividing by the denominator then multiplying by the numerator
- Modelling fraction-of-a-number problems with groups or arrays
- Solving real-world word problems using fractions of a number
- Connecting fraction-of-a-number problems to multiplication and division
Parent Tip: Use everyday quantities to practise — 'if 3/4 of the 20 cookies are chocolate chip, how many is that?' turns an abstract skill into a snack-time question.
