Solving Problems with Fractional Notation and Mixed Numerals

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...

Combine total quantities and equivalent ratios in problem solving. The fifth lesson in a series of 29 presents problems that can be solved using equivalent ratios. Pupils use part-to-part ratios and either sums or differences of the...

Changing ratios make for interesting problems. Pupils solve problems that involve ratios between two quantities that change. Groups use tape diagrams to represent and solve classroom exercises and share their solutions. 

Test your fifth graders' math skills with five word problems involving fractions. After studying two examples at the top of the page, pupils multiply fractions by whole numbers to solve each word problem. The worksheet provides two...

Address any kind of math concept or problem with a series of problem-solving strategies. Over 12 days of different activities and increasing skills, learners practice different ways to solve problems, check their answers, and reflect...

Harness the power of algebra to solve problems. Young mathematicians learn to work out multi-step problems by applying algebraic techniques, such as solving equations and proportions. They use tape diagrams to model the problem to finish...

Have your students solve this word problem along with Sal. He adds mixed numbers to solve the problem and shows what to do if the mixed numbers have uncommon denominators.

A set of worksheets prompts learners to practice solving fraction-based word problems. Each problem involves the division of whole numbers by unit fractions. As they work, mathematicians begin to see how division relates...

If you are looking for an end-of-the-year math assessment, then this lesson could be for you! Your mathematicians are assessed on their ability to solve difficult, multi-step word problems that take quite a bit of thought and...

School subjects connect when your young scholars use math to edit English. Math allows you to convert an entire paragraph into a simple equation or inequality. Examples encourage learners to write expressions, equations, and inequalities...
