Word Forms Of Fractions

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on the correct method of writing fractions in word form, with an emphasis on using hyphens. It outlines the rule that fractions should be hyphenated when written as words and used as a modifier, such as “one-half.” The worksheet provides guidance on when to add ‘s’ to the denominator and when not to add an additional hyphen if one is already present in the numerator or denominator. It lists several fractions and offers blank spaces for students to practice writing them out as words.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to properly convert fractions from numerical to word form, which includes the use of hyphenation. It explains the nuanced rules such as adding ‘s’ to the denominator to indicate plurality when the numerator is greater than one, except when the denominator itself contains a hyphenated number. The exercise aims to improve students’ understanding of written numbers and their appropriate grammatical presentation. Through this practice, students can learn to write fractions correctly in text, a skill that is valuable in both academic and real-world settings.
