Different Denominator

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of mathematical problems where students are instructed to add together three proper fractions with different denominators. Each problem is laid out in a horizontal sequence with space for students to write the sum. The worksheet is structured to allow students to focus on each set of fractions one at a time, with sufficient space to work on finding common denominators and summing the fractions. The logo at the bottom indicates that the sheet is sourced from 15Worksheets.com, suggesting it is part of a broader educational resource.

The primary educational goal of this worksheet is to teach students the more advanced skill of adding fractions with unlike denominators, which requires finding a common denominator before adding. It aims to develop students’ understanding of equivalent fractions and their ability to manipulate fractions to have the same denominator. The repetition of this process across multiple problems is designed to help students practice and solidify their skills in fraction addition. Furthermore, this worksheet may also enhance students’ problem-solving abilities and their comfort with fractions as part of their broader mathematical education.
