These Adding Fractions Task Cards make adding fractions visual and engaging! Perfect for hands-on learning, they are designed to help students conceptualize adding fractions using pattern blocks, where the double hexagon represents one whole.

What’s Included:

• A set of task cards with problems that increase in difficulty.
• Problems aligned with fractions that fit into pattern blocks: halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths.
• Questions designed for small group work, math centers, or independent practice.

How It Works:

• Students will use pattern blocks to model fractions and solve each task.
• Visual representations help students develop a concrete understanding of fraction addition.

Why You’ll Love This Resource:
✅ Supports hands-on, visual learning for adding fractions
✅ Easy to use in math centers, rotations, or whole-group lessons
✅ Ideal for differentiation, as the cards progress from simple to challenging problems

Skills Addressed:

• Adding fractions with like denominators
• Adding fractions with unlike denominators (aligned to pattern block-compatible values)
• Building a visual understanding of fractions

How to Use This Resource:

1. Print and laminate the task cards for durability.
2. Use with pattern blocks (double hexagon = one whole) to engage students visually and kinesthetically.
3. Incorporate into stations, small groups, or individual practice for added flexibility.

Perfect For:
✅ Grades 4-6
✅ Students who benefit from concrete and visual models for fraction addition
✅ Teachers looking for a low-prep, hands-on math activity
