If you are interested in a complete unit to teach simplifying, addition, and subtraction of fractions (with both like and unlike denominators) that incorporates increased rigor with the use of models and cooperative activities as well as higher level thinking questions, look no further. This 209-page packet of materials has everything you need to teach up to a 15-day unit.

You will get:

A unit outline with daily lesson plans (15 days—14 days of activities and 1 day for testing)

Note pages and teacher keys

Posters and graphic aids

Cooperative learning activities (no simplifying and simplifying versions for addition & subtraction)

Homework worksheets with answer keys

Quick-Check Assessments (5 questions) with answer keys

Unit Test and answer key

I have included a free download of the Table of Contents and lesson timeline so that you can have a better idea of whether this packet will work for you.

A unit of similar materials is also available in an electronic form using Google Apps if you would prefer that to a “hard copy” version. If you are just interested in a 5-day lesson unit or the activities for one of the three components (simplifying fractions, addition & subtraction with like denominator, or addition & subtraction with unlike denominators), I have those available both as “hard copy” and electronic versions for purchase at a lower fee. *Please note that the materials in the individual components are the same as the ones in the complete lesson packet.

Here is a complete list of the other products I have available for sale on this topic.
