Adding Mixed Numbers

Mix things things up in your elementary math class with a series of problem-solving exercises. Presented with a series of mixed number word problems, young mathematicians are asked to solve them by using either visual fraction models or...

Once scholars have a grasp on adding fractions, it's time to throw some mixed numbers into the equation! Each of these 14 addition problems has one mixed number and one proper fraction. Skills here include finding a common denominator,...

In this mixed number addition worksheet, students add the whole numbers and then the fractions in the mixed number equations. Students then reduce the fraction to solve the 14 problems.

In this adding mixed numbers worksheet, students find the sums by adding mixed numbers with common denominators and reducing the answer to lowest terms. Students solve 7 problems.

In this adding mixed numbers worksheet, students write addition sentences using pie charts, add mixed numbers with the same denominator, and write mixed numbers as fractions in simplest form. Students solve nine problems.

Adding mixed numbers is what this video will demonstrate. Sal explains that adding mixed numbers can be done by looking at the whole number separately from the fraction. Because his explanation is brief, this video would be great as a...

In order to subtract mixed numbers, sometimes one may need to determine the least common multiple in order to find a common denominator. This is just what Sal does in this presentation. First, he shows how to find a common denominator...

Adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators is a tricky process. This presentations does an excellent job of outlining the steps necessary in great detail. By the time you've worked through this 33-slide PowerPoint with your students,...

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,...

Adding and subtracting mixed numbers need the same attention that regular fractions do by finding a common denominator. If you plan to use a vertical line-up of the fractions then this video is for you. It just introduces this method, it...
