Grade 4 Fractions Worksheets — Free Printable PDF
Free Grade 4 fractions worksheets — equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, mixed numbers. Common Core 4.NF aligned.
Grade 4 is when fractions become operations. The Grade 3 child only had to UNDERSTAND fractions; the Grade 4 child has to DO things with them. Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator comes first (the easy case), then equivalent fractions, then comparing fractions with different denominators by finding equivalents. Mixed numbers and improper fractions enter the picture too.
Our Grade 4 fraction sheets cover the full 4.NF progression: equivalent fractions (with bar models and number lines), comparing fractions (using <, >, =), adding and subtracting like-denominator fractions, decomposing fractions into smaller parts, and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions. Multiplication of a fraction by a whole number — the start of fraction multiplication — is included on the harder sheets.
Pair with Fractions Frenzy for game-based practice. Don't move to unlike denominators until equivalent fractions feel automatic — that's a Grade 5 skill anyway. Free, classroom use welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should Grade 4 add fractions with unlike denominators?+
No — that's a Grade 5 standard (5.NF.A.1). Grade 4 sticks to like-denominator addition and subtraction (4.NF.B.3).
What's a mixed number?+
A whole number combined with a fraction — for example, 2 1/2 (two and a half). It's another way to write an improper fraction like 5/2.
What's an improper fraction?+
A fraction where the numerator is bigger than or equal to the denominator — for example, 7/4 or 5/5.
Do these include decimals?+
Decimals get a separate set of sheets — see our Grade 4 decimals page. Common Core 4.NF.C introduces decimals as a new fraction notation.
