Students add or subtract fraction parts of mixed numbers before adding or subtracting the whole number parts. In this fractions lesson plan, students learn to use a ruler to help them add and subtract fractions with like denominators.

In this fraction addition worksheet, students solve 14 problems that use like denominators. A review of the process appears at the top of the worksheet.

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

There is a lot to learn about fractions, and this is a fun way to do it! Individuals participate in a Cyberchase activity to describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They determine the meaning of the parts of a fraction,...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Students view a large illustration of a pizza with parts of velcro.  In this addition and subtraction of fractions lesson, students solve problems based on the pieces missing from the pizza. Students take a fraction quiz. Order a...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

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...

"What are fractions composed of?" is the essential question of a lesson designed to enhance understanding and strengthen the foundation of adding fractions. Mathematicians start by discussing what makes an equation true or false,...

Fractions are a common fear in school, but visualizing them on a number line can help your learners understand their relationship to one another. The activity provides two solutions; use either a number line or a common denominator....

Help your third graders become familiar with equivalent fractions for one-half by having them create a quilt. They will use triangles to create a quilt of equivalent fractions over a period of 6 days. As they create the quilt pieces they...

Learners add fractions using common denominators. In this algebra lesson, students are given fractions that do not have the same denominators. They are asked to solve the fractions using the same denominator.

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

Working with fractions that have unequal denominators is one of the most difficult concepts for young mathematicians to master. Here you will find a fine lesson plan that should help youngsters begin to get a grasp on this important...

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...

Introduce your class to the MLA style of formatting. In addition to studying the formatting, learners improve language skills and review word processor features. They use the Interwrite SchoolPad for the first time to assist in proofing...

In this adding fractions worksheet, students solve 10 problems in which simple fractions with unlike denominators are added. Students read the examples to learn how to find a common denominator.

In this adding fractions learning exercise, students solve 9 problems in which simple fractions with unlike denominators are added. Students write the equivalent fractions using the LCD before solving.

In this math activity, students examine the rules for ordering fractions by first changing to common denominators, then putting them from smallest to biggest. Students analyze 4 sets of fractions, change them to common denominators and...

In this math worksheet, learners read and solve 5 story problems which involve fractions with like denominators. Some of the fractions are expressed in word form.

In this subtracting fractions worksheet, students solve 15 problems in which fractions with like denominators are subtracted.

In this adding and subtracting fractions worksheet, students add and subtract fractions with common denominators. Students complete 10 problems total.

In this mathematics worksheet, students solve a number of problems by finding and equivalent fraction using the least common denominator in each. Then they add and change to a mixed number when necessary. Students also reduce the...
