Subtract Mixed Numbers with Like Denominators (C)

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

Fractions can be simple to subtract - but what if they have uncommon denominators? Help your fourth and fifth graders subtract and reduce fractions. This page contains 22 sets of fractions, most of which need to be reduced at least once...

Fractions are your learners' best friend in this simple worksheet that has room to show work as learners practice adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.

Have young mathematicians subtracting fractions in no time with this manipulative-based math lesson. Using their sets of fraction circles, students explore a number of word problems involving the subtraction of fractions before working...

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...

This fractions PowerPoint defines and gives examples of multiples and least common multiple, then models how to list multiples and circle the least common multiple. Each step to use in subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is...

In order to subtract mixed numbers, sometimes one may need to determine the least common multiple in order to find a common denominator. This is just what Sal does in this presentation. First, he shows how to find a common denominator...

In this math worksheet, students subtract and add fractions with unlike denominators. Students solve the problem in steps. They are given examples of how to solve the problems.

The teacher draws a visual on the white board to show how to change a whole number into a fraction by borrowing. This is necessary because the original written fraction is too small to subtract the second fraction.

Use number lines to give kids a visual representation of various fractions. There are eight number lines provided, and each one grows in difficulty. The first one, for example, only has three points: zero, one half, and one. The last...
