Grade 5 Fractions Worksheets
At grade 5, fractions means adding and subtracting unlike denominators, multiplying fractions, and dividing with unit fractions. Below are five worksheets on it — one per format — each in Set A, B and C with keys.
What the grade 5 fractions sheets cover
Grade 5 fractions comes in five formats (problem counts in brackets): drill (22, straight practice), timed drill (72, timed fluency), missing number (24, find the blank), mixed review (30, mixed shapes), and word problems (22, stories). Set A uses numbers from 1 to 300, 170 with fractions, and 24 fill-in blanks. Problem types: multiplying fractions, dividing with unit fractions, and simplifying fractions, plus six more. All five come as Sets A, B and C with answer keys, 170 problems per set from 22 to 72 a sheet. From the Set A drill, problem 8: "6 × 1/4" (answer 3/2). Common Core: 5.NF.1, 5.NF.4, and 5.NF.6.

Multiplying Fractions & Mixed Numbers: Real-World Problems
Story problems in real-world contexts.
The drill has 22 problems, numbers to 12 (problem 8: "6 × 1/4"). The timed drill has 72 problems, numbers to 16 (problem 25: "3/5 × 1/12"). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 15 (problem 9: "1/4 = ___/12"). The mixed review has 30 problems, numbers to 16 (problem 11: "Simplify 2/8."). The word problems has 22 problems, story problems (problem 8: "A snail travels 1/4 mile in one hour. How far does it…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on multiplying fractions, dividing with unit fractions, simplifying fractions, missing addends, missing factors, and missing terms in equivalent fractions and three more. The pages are tagged to Common Core 5.NF.4, 5.NF.1, and 5.NF.6, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 4 fractions, where the focus is adding and subtracting like denominators, equivalent fractions, and multiplying by a whole number; if it is too easy, grade 6 moves on to dividing fractions by fractions and all four operations with mixed numbers.
Treat the three versions of each grade 5 fractions sheet as a week: Set A on Monday to find the gaps, Set B midweek after the fix, Set C at the end as the check that it held — 170 problems per set across the row.
