Improper Fraction Worksheets

Improper fractions are fractions with an absolute value greater than 1.

We have more information about what proper and improper fractions are with some examples below.

There are also a range of sheets to help develop the skill of converting improper fractions - both easier sheets with visual models and harder sheets without any visual aids.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• understand what improper fractions are;
• convert improper fractions to mixed numbers;
• convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

Here you will find a selection of Fraction worksheets designed to help your child to understand and practice converting improper fractions.

The sheets are carefully graded so that the easiest sheets come first, and the most difficult sheet is the last one.

We have split the sheets into two sections with the first section looking at improper fractions visually.

The sheets in the second sections are more abstract (with no visual models) and tricky!

These sheets are aimed at students at 4th and 5th grade, with the more abstract worksheets for 5th graders.
