Sliced pizza, eggs in a carton, chapters in a book: the fractions in real life worksheet grounds abstract fraction concepts in things your student already knows.
Five word problems anchor this fractions in real life worksheet in familiar objects.

Each problem pairs a short reading passage with a clipart illustration of the real object, giving visual learners a helpful anchor.

Usage Notes
A pencil is the right tool here so your student can revise answers while working through simplification. Each problem is self-contained, making this sheet well suited for independent practice once you have introduced simplest form. Guided use works equally well for a first pass at the concept.
Printing Tips
Standard 20 lb copy paper works fine. Portrait orientation is set by the layout, and printing a few copies at once lets your student retry problems or gives you a record of progress over time.
