If you are interested in a unit to teach simplifying fractions that incorporates increased rigor with the use of models and cooperative activities as well as higher level thinking questions, look no further. This 60-page packet of materials has everything you need to teach up to a 5-day unit.

You will get:

A unit outline with daily lesson plans (5 days of activities)

Note page and teacher key

Cooperative learning activities

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 interested in a complete lesson unit for simplifying, addition, and subtraction of fractions (with like and unlike denominators), 5- day lesson units for the other two components (addition & subtraction with like denominators or addition & subtraction with unlike denominators) or just the activities for this or one of the other components (addition & subtraction with like denominators or addition & subtraction with unlike denominators—no simplifying answers and simplifying answers versions), I have those available both as “hard copy” and electronic versions for purchase at a lower fee. *Please note that some of the materials in the individual components in the “hard copy” versions 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.
