Fractions Practice
Adding, taking away, multiplying and dividing fractions — starting where both fractions share a bottom number and only the tops move, and working up to bottoms that have nothing in common. Every question can be worked through step by step.

This activity is for learning and practice. Anything it suggests is indicative only — it is not a formal assessment and not a substitute for a teacher or tutor.
Nothing you answer is sent to Zerdly. Progress is saved on this device only if you switch saving on, and you can delete it at any time. How Kids Maths handles data.
Set your country and age — change
Setting an age keeps the questions at the right level for that age. It does not lock anything — you can still try any topic, at any age, in any order. Levels are a guide only, not a curriculum.
Your age is not saved anywhere. Your country is remembered only if you have switched saving on.
Saving your progress
Nothing is being saved. You can practise as much as you like — when you close the tab, the session is gone.
Getting the most from it
- The bottom number is a size, not a count. It says how many pieces the whole was cut into. That is why it is never added — a half plus a quarter is still counting quarters.
- Start where the bottoms match. With the same bottom number, only the tops move. Once that feels automatic, the next step is bottoms where one fits into the other, so only one fraction needs changing.
- Answers are in simplest form. 4/8 is marked as needing simplifying rather than wrong, because tidying up at the end is part of the skill. An equivalent decimal is accepted too — being right in another form is still right.
- The usual slips get a real answer. Adding the bottoms, forgetting to change the tops, or multiplying when you meant to divide are each recognised and explained, instead of a plain “try again”.
What this tool covers
This is fraction arithmetic: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, with written explanations at every step. Recognising fractions and matching equivalent ones are separate skills and are not part of this tool yet.
School levels
School levels are a guide only. They show where a skill is usually taught in each country and are not taken from, aligned to, or endorsed by any curriculum authority. Your school may cover it earlier or later.
