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...

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.

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.

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,...

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...

How do you add mixed numbers with uncommon denominators? You can watch Sal add 3 1/12 11 2/5 and 4 5/15 together. He will take you through the step-by-step process explaining his thinking all along the way. This would fit nicely into any...

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...

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,...

In this adding mixed numbers worksheet, students add mixed numbers with uncommon denominators. Students complete 9 problems total.
