Could you develop your own way to add fractions with unlike denominators? An in-depth task has scholars examine a fictional conversation between several people in which they discuss a method of adding fractions with unlike denominators....

Your learners will enjoy playing a game as a motivator to learning and remembering the adding and subtracting of fractions.

If the fractions don't have a common denominator, make them have one. Learners first read and analyze a conversation of pupils trying to add 2/5 and 1/2. They compare the process of adding fractions to the process of adding quantities...

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...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math activity on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Your future chefs will appreciate this comprehensive lesson where learners practice operations on fractions using pizza and soup analogies. Learners begin with a pizza analogy that requires the learners to multiply a whole...

Fifth graders will be clamoring for s'more fractions after they finish this one! Motivated by a chocolate bar used for a yummy campfire treat, learners have to decide how to add fractions without like denominators by discovering the...

Adding fractions with unlike denominators can be cloudy, but attaching the fractions to real-life math can add to fraction number sense. Alex needed to run only a mile, will completing the training in two segments satisfy this...

Aunt Barb's salad dressing is a mixture of oil, vinegar, salt, herbs, and a pinch of math. Fifth graders add the fractional measurements of ingredients to find a total amount. The fractions have unlike denominators. After finding the...

There is more than one way to add mixed numbers. This activity asks 5th graders to find and record two ways. The purpose is to help pupils realize there are different ways to reach a common solution in math. The two most common ways are...

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...
