FAQs

What does the “Review Multiply and Divide Fractions” worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 worksheet uses nine multiple-choice items to review multiplying and dividing fractions, including simplifying results, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, finding reciprocals, and rewriting division as multiplication. Students also apply fraction division in a serving-size word problem, strengthening their ability to select and execute the correct procedure.

How can I use this worksheet to teach multiplying and dividing fractions?

Introduce the worksheet by modeling how to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction and how to find a reciprocal before demonstrating fraction division as multiplication by the reciprocal. Have students explain why an expression changes when division is rewritten as multiplication, then use the multiple-choice items and the hot-chocolate problem to discuss how the calculation represents the situation.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this fraction worksheet?

Watch for students reversing the wrong fraction when finding a reciprocal, leaving a mixed number unchanged instead of converting it to an improper fraction, or choosing multiplication without changing the divisor to its reciprocal. In the hot-chocolate problem, students may divide by the wrong quantity and select 10 rather than determining how many half-cup servings are in 10 cups; check that they also simplify their fraction results.

How do I assign and grade this fraction worksheet?

This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently.

How can I differentiate this multiplying and dividing fractions worksheet?

In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the nine multiple-choice items and fraction expressions easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping the reciprocal, improper-fraction, and fraction-division practice intact.
