Instructional Ideas

• Use as a formative assessment during a lesson series on adding fractions
• Extend learning by asking young mathematicians to create their own addition expressions and equivalent fraction bar models

Classroom Considerations

• There is not enough room on the worksheet to solve the problems, learners will have to use the back of the page or a separate sheet of paper
• Resource assumes students have prior knowledge of adding fractions with different denominators

Pros

• Worksheet includes fractions ranging from halves through tenths
• Answer key is included with the resource

Cons

• None
