Description
This set of addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed number task cards provides differentiation and challenge! If you are teaching fractions and mixed numbers, this is no "fill in the blank" worksheet, but instead is a rich problem-solving fraction activity. Estimating and the "guess and check" strategies are key as students look to solve these differentiated fraction puzzles.
Simple denominators are used (2, 4, 8 for the first 3 sets and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 for the final set) and only “like” denominators are used except for the final orange set. The sets are leveled and can be used to help with differentiation in your classroom.
Whether you teach from the Common Core or other rigorous standards, the ability to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers is key to strong “fraction sense”, and these puzzles are an engaging way to accomplish this!
You may have heard of “number bonds” in the primary grades. This resource taps into that concept to use fractions instead! Students gain valuable practice in breaking apart fractions and putting them back together—all in a cooperative, “puzzle-like” activity!
This resource has the following:
- 4 puzzle sets plus recording sheets
- Formative assessment
- Bonus mixed number activities are included
- Full color photos of how to use the resource, teaching tips, and answers are included as well so you can print and use right away!
Remember, this is not a "fill in the blank" activity; students need to problem solve, try different solutions, work together, and talk about math. This is a great way to get more "math talk" into your classroom--and the students will have a blast.
It is not easy--and it isn't meant to be!
This resource is also available as part of a "Teaching Tandem" product where you can get these assessments and a set of addition/subtraction games combined at a reduced price.
