Adding Fractions
All of these fraction pairs have common denominators, so adding them up is a bit simpler. There are two examples demonstrating both a mixed number and reducing to simplest terms. Scholars add up 28 fraction pairs, simplifying when...

Adding Fractions
Each of these 20 fraction pairs needs to be totaled, but that's not all there is to do! Scholars find the least common denominator first, then reduce the answer to simplest form if needed. These practice problems are excellent in the...

Comparing Fractions
Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

The Simplest Form of Fractions
There are two parts to this fractions drill. Each of the first 32 fractions can be written in simpler terms, and scholars get some guidance as they are given either the denominator or numerator of the equivalent fraction. Review this by...

Comparing Fractions with a Different Whole
What was Bryce's mistake? Through analysis of a student work example, learners develop their own ability to compare the fractions one fourth and one half. Central to this activity is the concept that, when comparing fractions, the whole...
