❓Frequently Asked Questions

What are Mixed Numbers and how do I subtract them?

 A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction (e.g., 312 ). To subtract mixed numbers, you typically find a common denominator for the fractions and then subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately. If the first fraction is smaller than the second, you'll need to 'borrow' or 'regroup' from the whole number, or convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions before subtracting.

Can I generate subtraction problems that require 'borrowing' or 'regrouping'?

 Yes, the generator automatically includes problems that may require borrowing/regrouping when the fractional part of the first mixed number is smaller than the fractional part of the second. This provides a realistic challenge for students learning this skill.

Can I create problems with 3 subtracting mixed numbers?

 Yes. You can select the '3 fractions per question' option in the generator settings to create chains of subtraction (e.g., 412 - 113 - 116 , increasing the difficulty and steps required for a solution.

Is it possible to set a range for the whole numbers?

 Currently, the whole number component is generated randomly. The difficulty settings primarily control the denominator range. If you need problems with a specific range of whole numbers, please use the 'Instructions' box to write a note to your students or contact us for potential custom features.

How do I set the difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard)?

 "The difficulty shortcuts adjust the **denominator range**:
  • Easy: Denominators are 2, 4, 6, 8 (simple common multiples).
  • Medium: Denominators are 2–9 (requires finding the least common denominator).
  • Hard: Denominators are 10–25 (larger numbers and more complex common denominators).
The whole numbers are selected to match a suitable level of complexity for each setting.

Can I include the solutions on the worksheet?

 Yes. Simply check the “Include solution page” option before generating your worksheet. The answer key will appear on a separate page in the PDF.

Can I download and print the worksheets?
