For this finding the sums of fractions worksheet, students add single digit and double digit fractions with uncommon denominators. Students solve 120 problems. 

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 that should help youngsters begin to get a grasp on this important...

Students will add positive and negative fractions and whole numbers. Fractions will have different denominators. Students will reduce answers to simplest form.

In this math worksheet, students subtract mixed numbers. Students find common denominators. They subtract the fractions and whole numbers.

Adding and subtracting mixed numbers will be a breeze with this guided worksheet packet. Learners work through examples outlining each step including rewriting mixed numbers as improper fractions, adding numerators, and rewriting the sum...

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...

Explore the connection between fractions and rational expressions. Young scholars manipulate fractions with unlike denominators to find a total. Challenge questions allow them to check their work to ensure they are correct.

Young mathematicians research and discuss real world math word problems and ways in which they apply math concepts in their everyday lives. They create a storyboard of a math word problem from which they create a slide for a multi-media...

An excellent way to reinforce math vocabulary in your classroom! Seventy-eight posters focus on number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra.

Fourth graders add and subtract decimals as they use a table to solve budget based problems.

This fifth-grade lesson teaches how to add and subtract unlike fractions using a video presentation and visual models. [7:19] Includes practice exercises.
