Description
Students follow along during lecture, copy examples, and work problems to get immediate reinforcement of the concepts. More advanced students will find the worksheets offer a great review. An attempt is made to try to teach students how to organize their side work! The packet guides the students through the following concepts:
Section I: Simplify Fractions
- Simplify fractions by dividing out common factors
- Create Prime Factor Trees
- Simplify fractions by dividing out common Prime Factors
- Calculate Greatest Common Factor by multiplying common Prime Factors
- Simplify fractions by dividing out Greatest Common Factor
- Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions and Vice Versa
Section II: Multiply Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Section III: Divide Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Section IV: Add and Subtract Fractions with Common Denominators
Section V: Find the Least Common Multiple
- Using a List of Multiples
- Using Prime Factorization
Section VI: Calculate Equivalent Fractions
Section VII: Add and Subtract Fractions with Different Denominators
Section VIII: Compare Fractions
Section IX: Simplify Complex Fractions
Section X: Exponents and Order of Operations
Section XI: Add and Subtract Mixed Numbers
- Use improper fractions
- Add the whole numbers and fractions separately
- A chart is provided so students can use a List of Multiples, Prime Factorization, or both methods when determining the LCD.
The zip file includes 3 PDF documents, the first being the guided notes, examples, guided problem solving, and problems plus the cover page, and the second being a duplicate of the first but with the answers filled in, plus information pages. The third document includes a variety of covers that can be used for the packet, if desired. When printing the PDF, you may want to choose the option, “Actual size”.
This worksheet packet has been a great resource for secondary education teachers, tutors, and community college professors who are teaching Prealgebra/Beginning Algebra courses. I welcome your comments and suggestions!
