Mixed numbers are the focus of a five-question interactive. Scholars move fraction pieces into strips and equations to find solutions. Questions challenge participants with multiple-choice, a true or false, and one discussion.

Upper graders figure out what fraction of the number line is pointed out. They complete seven problems.

In this fraction addition worksheet, students learn to use shaded parts of a whole to help them add like fractions. Students write addition sentences and the answer in the first set. In the second set, students shade parts of the whole...

In this adding and subtracting fractions learning exercise, students add and subtract fractions including mixed numbers and negatives. Students complete 62 problems.

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

Math novices examine how math can help them in real-world situations. They listen to the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka, solve various word problems from the book, explore various math websites, write original math word problems,...

In order to create some tasty fudge, learners must adapt a recipe. Using a recipe for fudge, ingredients must be correctly converted using fractions. If one fraction is incorrect, the fudge will reveal it! Although you will only make one...

Upper graders are introduced to the topic of fractions and percentages. In groups, they discuss real world situations in which fractions are present, and they complete a worksheet solving problems with common and uncommon denominators....

Students investigate the concept of adding fractions with like denominators. They review how to combine the numerators. Students use cutouts to handle fractions that are hands on while comparing them to slices of pizza. They work...

In this adding and subtracting with unlike denominators worksheet, learners add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. They complete six problems.

Students explore decimals and fractions using groups of 100 pennies. By classifying the pennies in different ways, there are an unlimited number of ways to learn fractions, decimals, and place value in money. This is a good, hands-on...

Students investigate fractions through interactive videos and hands-on activities and class made models.

Upper elementary schoolers investigate the concept of multiplying fractions with the help of a handout and a treat of brownies. They work on a worksheet for a short while and then progress to multiplying a chain of terms. Then the...

Young scholars use candy bars, beef jerky, and brownies to represent different fractions. Students also use colored multi-link cubes or blocks to illustrate the same representations of fractions. Young scholars work with a partner to...

Rise and shine, mathematicians! These warm-ups will get your class putting on their thinking caps first thing as they recall past concepts and continue practicing newer ones. The problems are segmented and include concepts such as number...

In this working with fraction and percentage worksheet, learners complete fractions, write fractions in simplest form, write fractions in order of size, calculate fractions of whole numbers, solve word problems, add and subtract...

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator! Learners find common denominators in order to add and subtract rational expressions. Examples include addition, subtraction, and complex fractions.

Finding common denominators is an important strategy when adding fractions with unlike denominators. In the first two questions in this three-question task, fifth graders are asked to combine fractions and draw a picture to show their...

Let's build a castle! Dennis and Cody have big plans, but do they have enough blocks between the two of them to accomplish their goal? A great context that requires learners to add and compare mixed numbers. Encourage the use of pictures...

The class solves 19 problems involving rational expressions. They find the least common denominator of fractions, make fractions equivalent and then add or subtract fractions containing rational expressions.

Here is an adding mixed numbers instructional activity in which learners change the unlike denominators to common denominators and find the sums. They solve 10 problems.

Explore the multiplication and division process for fractions with this interactive presentation. Through visual fraction problems, your math learners will uncover common assumptions and errors in computing fractions and how to avoid...

Common Core mathematical practices require that young mathematicians not only know how to add fractions with unlike denominators, but also to recognize when adding fractions are appropriate for the word problem. Fifth graders are given...

Add and subtract fractions with common denominators! In this fractions lesson, upper graders review what they already know about fractions, use manipulatives to compare fractions, and add and subtract fractions.
