About the Fabric Fractions Worksheet

Fabric Fractions is an engaging mathematical worksheet that focuses on helping students understand and work with fractions in a real-world context. This interactive and printable worksheet presents a scenario where a character named Leti is organizing fabric for making a quilt. Students need to analyze different measurements of fabric given in yards and fractions of yards, including pieces marked for specific patterns like stars, moons, clouds, planets, and telescopes.

The worksheet challenges students to plot fractions and answer questions about the total yards of fabric, potential square cuts from specific pieces, and identifying the maximum and minimum quantities. Through practical application involving fabric measurements, students develop their understanding of fraction comparison, addition, and real-world problem-solving skills. This makes learning fractions more relatable and meaningful while building essential mathematical competencies.

Common core standards covered

5.MD.B.2
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
