RJ and Zoey are at camp and need to get back to the mess hall for lunch, but they don't know how far they have to walk. Help them figure out the distance while teaching young mathematicians how to add and subtract fractions with this...

Adding and subtracting mixed numbers need the same attention that regular fractions do by finding a common denominator. If you plan to use a vertical line-up of the fractions then this video is for you. It just introduces this method, it...

Young mathematicians piece together the puzzle of fractions. Starting with the addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, this series of example problems and skills practice exercises transitions students...

There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Learners review operations with fractions and ensure they have the skills needed to progress in the course. Taking the time now to review these concepts allows individuals to...

Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math instructional activity. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop...

Cut it up into parts and make fractions. The short video provides a definition of fractions as being a representation of parts of a whole. Using drawings, the presentation shows how to determine the bottom and top numbers for a fraction...

Following an engaging video, mathematicians solve a word problem about baking cupcakes using fractions. Scholars practice different problem-solving strategies, then find different ingredient amounts for their recipes. Pupils solve a...

Need a unit to teach fractions to fourth graders? Look no further than this well-developed and thorough set of lessons that takes teachers through all steps of planning, implementing, and assessing their lessons. Divided into eight...

The process requires the combination of several concepts. A video shows how individuals need several concepts to add rational expressions. Pupils must remember they need to find common denominators, combine like terms, and use the...

Your bakers might not realize that they need to know how to add with unlike denominators in order to figure out how much milk they need for a recipe. In order to make brownies and cookies, this lesson teaches how to find a common...

Never forget how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions with a two-page document detailing each operation. 

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table of...

Get a clearer picture of working with fractions. While continuing to work with fractions as parts, the video shows how to use drawing to compare and add fractions. Worksheets then provide opportunities for pupils to practice comparing,...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

Order up a resource on comparing rational numbers. Scholars order fractions, decimals, and percents by converting to a single form. They conduct a cut-and-paste activity ordering three sets of rational numbers.

Sometimes dealing with decimals is so much easier than dealing with fractions. The ninth instructional activity in a 21-part module has the class consider situations when it might be easier to add or subtract fractions by first...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math lesson on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Learn ways to simplify algebraic fractions with a video that reviews how to simplify rational expressions by canceling common factors and how to add and subtract simple rational expressions. A worksheet tests pupils' understanding...

Mix things up a little to be improper. The presenter shows three example of changing a mixed number to an equivalent improper fraction. Scholars work several practice problems and application questions to refine the process.

 Young mathematicians respond to a series of comprehension questions after reading an article about simplifying fractions.
