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...

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

Subtracting fractions that have unequal denominators is a tricky process. The activity utilizes fraction bars as a manipulative, in order to understand subtracting fractions and estimating differences. After completing three activities...

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...

Young mathematicians demonstrate their ability to subtract mixed numbers by completing this collection of fraction word problems. From figuring out the weight of objects in a package, to finding the difference in height between two...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can be overwhelming, but in this task, 5th graders work systematically to break down the procedure through three questions. The first two questions ask for pictures to be drawn along...

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...
