Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Practice Set
By Latisha W.
A 25-problem mixed-operation practice worksheet for 6th graders that covers multiplying and dividing both proper fractions and mixed numbers. It opens with a mixed-number conversion rule and works through problems in parts, so students can build fluency with each operation before combining them.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as independent practice after a lesson on fraction multiplication and division, or as a review block of about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Discussion question: Why does dividing by a fraction give the same result as multiplying by its reciprocal, and when might that shortcut lead to a mistake?
- Scaffold for struggling readers and learners: Have students copy the mixed-number rule (convert to an improper fraction first) at the top of their paper and work the first few problems aloud with you before moving to independent work.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own two-step problem that mixes multiplication and division of mixed numbers, then trade with a partner to solve.
- Estimated time: about 40 to 45 minutes for all 25 problems, with more time needed if students show their work in full.
