Lowest Terms

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a mathematics exercise consisting of two sections. The first section requires students to simplify fractions to their lowest terms, with nine problems listed for this task. The second section, labeled “Find the total of these fraction and answer in its lowest terms,” contains six problems where students must first perform fraction addition or subtraction and then simplify the result. The worksheet provides a structured approach to practice reducing fractions and performing basic operations with them.

The worksheet’s first section is intended to teach students how to identify and divide by the greatest common divisor to simplify fractions. The second section builds upon this skill by introducing basic arithmetic operations with fractions before requiring the same simplification process. Through these exercises, students enhance their understanding of numerators and denominators and learn to perform calculations more efficiently with fractions. The skill of simplifying fractions is fundamental in mathematics as it is widely applicable in various areas of math and everyday problem-solving scenarios.
