This fraction worksheet is great for practising adding fractions with like / same denominators problems. The problems may be selected for different degrees of difficulty. The easiest will have a set of denominators or 2,4,6,8. The hardest will keep the denominators between 1 and 25. The way to solve the adding fraction problems with like / same denominator is rather easy. The first step is to add the numerators of all 3 fractions. Then check to see if you need to simplify the fraction. When you have not set the 'Max Sum is 1' option then you have to check if the fraction is an improper fraction. If this is the case, you have to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number.
