Use visual models along with the standard algorithm and area models to quickly and effectively teach your students how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and mixed numbers with this comprehensive printable & digital resource pack.

With 21 mini-lessons, (6 adding and subtracting fractions, 5 adding and subtracting mixed numbers, 6 multiplying fractions, and 4 dividing fractions) you will have plenty of resources to teach your student how to solve problems using fraction operations.  

Using models, students will have a more hands-on approach to “see” what it looks like to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions.  These models will help reinforce the use and understanding of the standard algorithm.  It’s great for kinesthetic learners as well as students that may struggle with memorizing algorithms.

This resource is complete, comprehensive, and easy to follow with a clear format.  It is low-prep, easy to assign to a sub, and contains engaging printable activities and digital versions for use with Google Classroom.  If your students are struggling conceptually, this resource is for you!

This resource is included in a year-long 5th Grade Math Curriculum Bundle.

How Can You Use This?

Introduce each skill with the detailed set of notes and sample problems.  I suggest doing this in a whole group setting and displaying the PDF or pulling the slides up on a Smartboard if you’re in person or share the screen online if you’re teaching virtually.  

Gradually release students to practice independently using the practice pages or slides activities.  

When all skills have been taught, provide additional practice and review using the set of printable or digital task cards (Add/Subt Fractions & Mixed numbers only), then assess with the final quizzes when you feel students are ready.

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  This resource has been one of the best purchases I made this year. Being in DL, I have a hard time finding time to write my lessons. This resource was not only a timesaver but also a lifesaver! It is developed very well and the videos are wonderful to have. Students who are working at home or miss a Zoom meeting can teach themselves by watching these easy to follow recorded instructions. Thank you for having this available to us!  - Rainbow Learning Materials

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  This is a great resource to use for fractions with my class. There were options to support and supplement learning from the curriculum. The models for each operation are a great tool for all students. Students were engaged, even independently. I liked having digital and printable options.   - Paige D.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Truly, I could not recommend this product enough.  This is a wonderful product for distance learners who have had very limited access to math manipulatives this year   - Jean B.
