Question 3 should be a unit fraction to align with 5th-grade standards. Also, the answer to question 9 is incorrect because the problem solved on the answer key does not match the student task card.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS5.NF.A.2

Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
