Middle schoolers identify proper, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.  They reduce fractions to their lowest terms. They add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and multiply and divide fractions, as well as...

Students add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers. In this fractions worksheet, students learn how to add and subtract mixed numbers based on their knowledge of adding and subtracting fraction with a teacher led question and answer...

Elementary schoolers participate with their teacher's instruction to learn to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers. They use fraction strips to complete addition and subtraction problems. A step-by-step script is provided to help...

Elementary schoolers add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers and identify equivalent fractions of the same number. They use marshmallows to help them add fractions.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Young mathematicians review the basic operations needed for addition and subtraction of fractions. They review the rules for addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator, how to change them if the denominators are...

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

Students add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They "fish" for and solve a number of fraction problems requiring adding, subtracting, finding equivalent fractions, and using mixed numbers.

Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math lesson. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop visual models...

Students use recipes to add fractions and convert improper fractions to proper fractions and mixed numbers. In this fraction lesson plan, students watch a video on someone making a recipe and compare and change the recipes to fit the...

Upper elementary schoolers investigate the concept of multiplying fractions with the help of a handout and a treat of brownies. They work on a worksheet for a short while and then progress to multiplying a chain of terms. Then the...

Students translate problem situations into diagrams, models, and numerals using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents. They identify that numbers in different forms are equivalent or not equivalent using whole...

Students investigate fractions while adding and subtracting mixed numbers. They discuss how to add and subtract mixed numbers and they practice working with mixed numbers. They complete a worksheet while working with mixed numbers.

Students practice comparing and ordering fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. In this fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals lesson plan, students examine a decimal place value chart compared to a whole number place value chart. They...

Fourth graders practice a wide range of strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems containing decimal fractions. They add and subtract fractions, decimals and integers while generalizing the properties of operations with...

Let's build a castle! Dennis and Cody have big plans, but do they have enough blocks between the two of them to accomplish their goal? A great context that requires students to add and compare mixed numbers. Encourage the use of pictures...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

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...

Mathematics aces, after a warm-up activity with some easy calculations, practice solving rules of signs and powers of 10 equations. Multiplying and dividing decimals is also covered within this lesson in depth. A variety of examples and...

Working with fractions that have unequal denominators is one of the most difficult concepts for young mathematicians to master. Here you will find a fine lesson plan that should help youngsters begin to get a grasp on this important...

Fourth graders develop a conceptual understanding of fractions and begin to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Included is a worksheet to assess readiness and a teacher's checklist showing class understanding at a...

In this math worksheet, students compute with fractions. Five of the problems involve common denominators. Four of the problems require students to first find the common denominator. Six problems are multiple choice. One problem involves...

Fifth graders use various internet sites to complete math programs where they identify different representations of mixed numbers. In this mixed numbers lesson plan, 5th graders practice math before hand and then go on the computers in...
