This section focuses on taking a fraction and reducing it to the lowest terms possible. The basic idea here is to find a common factor of both the numerator and denominator. Once that is done, just divide both by the factor to reduce the fractions. In many cases you may not choose the greatest common factor, so both the top and the bottom will need a further reduction. Your students will use these activity sheets to practice reducing fractions through the use of their highest common factors.

These worksheets explains how to rewrite fractions in their lowest terms and rewrite decimals as fractions. Solutions to sample problems and practice problems are provided.
