Identifying Proper and Improper Fractions worksheet for educational practice.

Let’s go through each part step by step.

Part A: Circle the proper fractions.

What is a proper fraction?
→ It’s when the top number (numerator) is smaller than the bottom number (denominator).
→ Example: 3/4 → 3 < 4 → proper.

Now check each:

- 7/10 → 7 < 10 → ✔ Proper
- 2/9 → 2 < 9 → ✔ Proper
- 12/11 → 12 > 11 → ✘ Not proper
- 5/2 → 5 > 2 → ✘ Not proper
- 9/4 → 9 > 4 → ✘ Not proper
- 3/14 → 3 < 14 → ✔ Proper
- 1/2 → 1 < 2 → ✔ Proper

So, circle: 7/10, 2/9, 3/14, 1/2

Part B: Circle the improper fractions.

What is an improper fraction?
→ It’s when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
→ Example: 5/4 → 5 > 4 → improper. Also 4/4 = 1 → also improper.

Check each:

- 5/4 → 5 > 4 → ✔ Improper
- 13/12 → 13 > 12 → ✔ Improper
- 2/3 → 2 < 3 → ✘ Not improper
- 15/8 → 15 > 8 → ✔ Improper
- 5/6 → 5 < 6 → ✘ Not improper
- 8/7 → 8 > 7 → ✔ Improper
- 11/5 → 11 > 5 → ✔ Improper

So, circle: 5/4, 13/12, 15/8, 8/7, 11/5

---

Part C: Read each statement and check “Yes” or “No”

1) 3/4 is a proper fraction.
→ 3 < 4 → Yes → ✔ Check Yes

2) 9/8 is not an improper fraction.
→ 9 > 8 → it IS improper → so saying “is not” is false → ✘ Check No

3) 10/7 is an improper fraction.
→ 10 > 7 → Yes → ✔ Check Yes

4) 14/13 is a proper fraction.
→ 14 > 13 → No, it’s improper → ✘ Check No
