About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 12 problems subtracting fractions with a number line divided into the common denominator.
This worksheet subtracts two fractions on a number line divided into their common denominator. One hop runs forward to the number being subtracted from and a second hop runs back by the amount taken away, so the difference is read off the line by counting ticks rather than by finding a least common denominator on paper. Every difference is already in lowest terms, so counting and reducing give the same answer. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
