The worksheet titled "Reviewing Fraction Skills" invites students to solve a variety of different problems that involve fractions. For example, students might be asked to:
* Add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions.
* Reduce fractions to their lowest terms.
* Change an improper fraction to a mixed number.
* Write the reciprocal of a fraction.
Fractions may appear with whole numbers in problems, like 3 - 1 9/11, as mixed numbers, like 3 1/3 x 1 1/4, or as basic fractions, like 6/7 ÷ 4/5. Worksheet pages contain 9 problems in boxes, with some containing a single problem and others giving students multiple opportunities to practice the same skill.
There are a lot of skills to learn that are associated with fractions. Once students have learned multiple skills, it can be helpful to incorporate them all into a worksheet. For example, students might add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions on the same worksheet. You might keep things simple and create problems with basic fractions, or you might include mixed numbers or improper fractions if your students have the skills to tackle these kinds of problems.
It can also be helpful to review skills that help them find the answers to operations. For example, you might ask students to write the reciprocal of a fraction or reduce a fraction to its lowest terms.
These types of worksheets are great for review before a test, but they can also serve as a midpoint check-in. You can see which skills students have mastered and which skills you need to revisit before the test.
