Adding and Subtracting Fractions/Mixed Numbers (2)

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Get your fraction on with this worksheet full of adding and subtracting with fractions and mixed numbers. The first page starts off simple, and the second page introduces more challenging problems. Let your learners become comfortable...

Mix things things up in your elementary math class with a series of problem-solving exercises. Presented with a series of mixed number word problems, young mathematicians are asked to solve them by using either visual fraction...

Here is a great video explaining multiplying a fraction by a whole number. Sal shows students how to put a whole number over 1 to multiply it by a fraction. He simplifies his answer and writes it as a mixed number.

Before Sal can divide a mixed number, he has to rewrite it as an improper fraction. He explains that dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying it by its reciprocal and that you can "cancel out" numbers to make multiplying easier.

These presentations by Monica Yuskaitis are particularly good. In this one, she shows viewers how to deal with subtracting fractions that have unlike denominator, no small task! This is a tricky process, and this PowerPoint takes young...

There are many ways to subtract mixed fractions. The teacher demonstrates one method of how to break up the mixed number and subtract the whole numbers apart from the fractions. Once that is complete she puts the whole number and...
