This free 4th grade math worksheet covers fractions — numerators, denominators, and comparing fractions — with a reading passage and comprehension questions.
A fraction shows part of a whole. The bottom number is called the denominator. It tells how many equal parts the whole is split into. The top number is called the numerator. It tells how many parts you have. For example, 3/4 means the whole is split into 4 equal parts and you have 3 of them. When two fractions have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is greater. So 3/4 is greater than 1/4.
Fractions are a major focus in 4th grade math. This worksheet helps students understand the relationship between numerator and denominator and introduces comparing fractions with the same denominator.
