What this worksheet covers

This is a 60-problem timed drill for grade 6 fractions, printed in black and white with the key on page two. Within that, several problems use mixed numbers, which have to be handled without dropping the whole-number part and the numbers run as high as 24. Problems 21 and 41, for instance, are "Simplify 10/15." and "1/3 × 5/6". It is written against Common Core 6.NS.1 — The Number System, grade 6.

Skills practised

Grade 6 fractions means dividing fractions by fractions and all four operations with mixed numbers. Specifically, the problems practise dividing fractions by fractions, multiplying fractions, and simplifying fractions. To finish it, a student has to work in fractional units and give the answer in lowest terms. 33 different answers appear across the 60 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.

About the timed drill format

The timer box at the top has room for minutes, seconds and a score out of 60; a realistic target for a page like this, where problem 21, "Simplify 10/15." is a typical item, is three to four minutes. Equivalent fractions and simple sums recalled quickly are what free a student's attention for the harder operations later.

Set A, Set B and Set C

All three sets are produced by the site's deterministic generator from a fixed seed, so they are the same every time the site is built and the answer keys are exact. Where Set A's problem 31 is "1/3 ÷ 2/12", Set B's is "10/12 ÷ 1/2".

How to use this worksheet

Have the student estimate before computing, then compare. At grade 6 an fractions answer that is wildly off should announce itself, and building that reflex matters as much as the 60 answers. Mark the 60 problems the same day using the key — an error caught immediately is a correction, and one caught next week is a habit.
