The “Reducing Fractions with Guide” worksheet is designed to assist students in simplifying fractions by providing a list of divisors for the numerator and the denominator of each fraction. This helps students visually identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) for the given fractions, the largest number appearing in both lists of divisors. Once the GCD is found, students divide the numerator and the denominator by this number to simplify the fraction to its lowest terms. The worksheet includes the first example completed as a model, showing the fraction 18242418 being simplified to 3443, indicating that the greatest common divisor is 6. This educative tool aids in reinforcing students’ understanding of factors and the simplification process, making it easier for them to apply these concepts independently.
