Add and Subtract Fractions Online practice for grades 3-7

On this page, you can practice addition and subtraction of fractions. Each practice set will automatically include both addition and subtraction problems.

The options are:

• You can limit the fractions in the problems to like fractions (fractions with the same denominator), for example: 1/6 + 4/6.
• You can limit the script to use only proper fractions—fractions that are less than 1. With this option, the script will make problems such as 1/4 + 2/5, but will not make problems such as 8/5 − 4/5.
• When you choose problems that use simplified fractions, the script will only include fractions in the problems that are in lowest terms. For example, you could get a problem such as 5/6 + 3/5, but you would not see 2/4 + 6/8.
• The last option, when chose, allows or accepts answers to not be in lowest terms. In other words, the script will accept an answer such as 8/10.

Note: ALL answers have to be given as mixed numbers, when possible. In other words, your answer cannot be left as an improper fraction.

You may use the space below to write the intermediate step. Your work in this area will not be checked.
