4th - 4th Grade
Mathematics
This Grade 4 mathematics worksheet gives students focused practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Across 10 multiple-choice questions, students combine or subtract numerators while keeping the common denominator, including examples with two fractions and repeated addition of three equal fractions. The answer choices also help reveal whether students understand the difference between numerator and denominator operations. Designed as a weekend challenge, this free printable worksheet is useful for independent practice, homework, review, or a quick formative check. Students must select the correct result for each fraction expression, allowing teachers to assess procedural fluency with straightforward fraction addition and subtraction. A complete answer key is included so teachers can check work efficiently and identify students who need more practice with like-denominator fractions.

This Grade 4 worksheet contains 10 multiple-choice questions on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Students practise operating on the numerators while retaining the common denominator, including expressions with two fractions and repeated addition such as three equal fractional addends.
First model how to combine or subtract numerators when the denominators are the same, then work through one addition and one subtraction expression before students complete the multiple-choice items independently. Use the distractors to prompt discussion about why denominators are not added or subtracted and how repeated addition, such as three copies of the same fraction, can be represented.
Watch for students who add or subtract the denominators, change the denominator unnecessarily, or choose a result based on operating on every number in the expression. In the repeated-addition items, students may also confuse the total numerator with the denominator or select an unreduced-looking option without checking whether the numerator operation was correct.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 10 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or increase the font size so the fraction expressions and answer choices are easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports students working through the fraction questions.
