RJ and Zoey are at camp and need to get back to the mess hall for lunch, but they don't know how far they have to walk. Help them figure out the distance while teaching young mathematicians how to add and subtract fractions with this...

Fifth graders put their fraction knowledge to work by reading word problems and deciding whether to add or subtract the given fractions. Terms such as combined, total, difference, and left indicate which operation to use.

Pattern blocks and shapes demonstrate how to add and subtract fractions. By aligning blocks with different shapes, learners figure out how to create a whole, and then how to add and delete parts from that whole.

The class solves 19 problems involving rational expressions. They find the least common denominator of fractions, make fractions equivalent and then add or subtract fractions containing rational expressions.

In this adding and subtracting fractions learning exercise, students add and subtract fractions including mixed numbers and negatives. Students complete 62 problems.

Young mathematicians piece together the puzzle of fractions. Starting with the addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, this series of example problems and skills practice exercises transitions students...

Sometimes dealing with decimals is so much easier than dealing with fractions. The ninth lesson in a 21-part module has the class consider situations when it might be easier to add or subtract fractions by first converting to...

Never forget how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions with a two-page document detailing each operation. 

Make fractions fun and interesting by using a brochure form. Young mathematicians practice and gain a better understanding of how to add and subtract fractions, simplify fractions, and find LCD (least common denominator). The resources...

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

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator! Learners find common denominators in order to add and subtract rational expressions. Examples include addition, subtraction, and complex fractions.

How much can a cat eat? The five-question fraction assessment asks pupils to determine the fractional portion of a food box eaten by cats. Learners show their proficiency in adding and subtracting fractions using several scenarios...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is the focus of an interactive designed to boost mathematicians' problem-solving skills. Five questions challenge participants to answer multiple-choice and true or false questions with help...

An interactive challenges scholars to subtract mixed numbers. Pupils answer questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and true or false—with help from virtual fraction strips. The practice closes with a discussion. 

An interactive challenges mathematicians to add mixed fractions with unlike denominators. Five questions—fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice—build from one to the next leading the way to an open discussion about denominators and...

Mixed numbers are the focus of a five-question interactive. Scholars move fraction pieces into strips and equations to find solutions. Questions challenge participants with multiple-choice, a true or false, and one discussion.

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...

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with a activity designed to give your learners practice performing fraction operations. 

Learn ways to simplify algebraic fractions with a video that reviews how to simplify rational expressions by canceling common factors and how to add and subtract simple rational expressions. A worksheet tests pupils' understanding...

Practice adding and subtracting improper fractions with pineapple slices. Young mathematicians move whole pineapple slices to visualize the addition of the 2/5s that is on Sally's plate. Pupils also use a combination of mixed numbers and...

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...

It all adds up to one. Pupils solve several items that involve finding sums of fractions in relationship to a whole. The assessment task uses fractions with unlike denominators to determine the amount of a tank of gas and the amount of...

For this common denominator worksheet, students learn to add three fractions using common denominators. Students then practice by adding and subtracting fractions using common denominators.

Now that the practice is over, see if young mathematicians can utilize their new skills on finding common denominators and adding fractions. The assessment contains one map challenge and follows with skills practice.
