Welcome to Fraction City! This is an incredibly interactive and fun way to teach properties of fractions, and reaches multiple learning styles. Scholars create "blocks" by folding strips of paper in various increments (thirds, fourths,...

Enjoy these straightforward and simple worksheet pages that practice with different denominators. The practice starts simple with adding fractions together and then works on a recipe that needs to be tripled. 

Young mathematicians use a bell and hammer to see how high or low the puck goes. Then, they order the fractional values to demonstrate the greatest to lowest hit. Students then respond to several questions that require them to use...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Students use Cuisenaire rods to explore common denominators. In this fractions lesson, students build Cuisenaire representations of fractions, then find their equivalent counterparts to find the common denominator.

The steps are laid out in these fraction addition practice problems. Scholars add fractions with common denominators, making sure to reduce to the simplest form. For all of these, that means turning a simplified improper fraction into a...

All of these fraction pairs have common denominators, so adding them up is a bit simpler. There are two examples demonstrating both a mixed number and reducing to simplest terms. Scholars add up 28 fraction pairs, simplifying when...

These presentations by Monica Yuskaitis are particularly good. In this one, she shows viewers how to deal with subtracting fractions that have unlike denominator, no small task! This is a tricky process, and this PowerPoint takes young...

Adding fractions with unlike denominators is a difficult process to master. This fine presentation does a terrific job of leading young math whizzes through the steps necessary to perform this calculation. The slides have clear graphics,...

In this adding fractions activity, students add 2 fractions that have the same denominator. Students are to complete 14 problems.

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...

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...

Have fun with fractions in a math card game activity! Cut out the fraction cards and use them to reinforce fraction concepts, including common denominators, parts of a whole, and equivalent fractions. 

Finding common denominators is an important strategy when adding fractions with unlike denominators. In the first two questions in this three-question task, fifth graders are asked to combine fractions and draw a picture to show their...

Reach out to your visual and kinesthetic learners with this set of printable fraction strips. Not only is this resource a great way to develop children's fractional number sense, it's bound to capture their engagement as well.

Compare two fractions with like denominators or like numerators in an excellent skills practice worksheet. With 10 sets of worksheets, the packet uses numbers and visual models to help young mathematicians determine greater...

An extensive lesson plan explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer...

After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson plan. Using a meter length of tape, show your class...

There are actually several math topics covered by this set of problems. First is the addition of fractions and mixed numbers with both like and unlike denominators. Nine word problems are provided after some whole class practice.There...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

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.

In this adding mixed numbers worksheet, students find the sums of whole numbers and fractions with common denominators and reduce and rename the answers. Students solve 7 problems.

In this fractions subtraction worksheet, students solve 14 problems in which mixed numbers with like denominators are subtracted.

In this common denominators worksheet, students find common denominators for pairs of fractions. Students find common denominators for 4 pairs of fractions.
