The Three R's of Common Denominators (Reading)

Develop the academic language of fifth grade mathematicians with this list of Common Core vocabulary. Accompanied by a series of word cards that support each term with examples and images, this resource is a valuable tool for any fifth...

Captivate your class by having them find the value of their names, different zoo animals, musical instruments, etc.,with a mental math lesson plan. Using the coding formula listed, children learn to fluently estimate and...

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...

If the fractions don't have a common denominator, make them have one. Learners first read and analyze a conversation of pupils trying to add 2/5 and 1/2. They compare the process of adding fractions to the process of adding quantities...

Do not use the easiest but the first. The video shows a method to find a common denominator by finding the least common denominator to add fractions. By listing the multiples of the denominators, learners easily identify the least common...

Prepare your classes for future work by reinforcing multiples and finding least common multiples. Learners see how to identify the least common multiple of a set of numbers. The instructor shows examples including a set of two and a set...

A pint sized math master shares what he knows about fractions. He clearly defines what the denominator and numerator is, what they represent, and what a fraction is. He is a little flustered and his delivery is rushed, but he's got a...

RJ instructs your sixth graders in two different methods of determining least common multiples. The first is by listing several multiples of each number, and the second is by drawing factor trees. This is an ideal flipped classroom...

RJ and Zoey are at camp and need to get back to the mess hall for lunch, but they don't know how far they have to walk. Help them figure out the distance while teaching young mathematicians how to add and subtract fractions with this...

Having a common denominator is the best thing to have when subtracting fractions. If you have a common denominator then all you have to do is subtract the numbers in the numerator.
