Identifying Numerators and Denominators Worksheet Download
This worksheet gives students a target number and four fractions, then asks which fraction (or fractions) use that number as the numerator - or as the denominator. Some questions have more than one correct answer, and every set includes a fraction that uses the target number in the other position, so students have to pay attention to which term the question is asking about.
