This resource includes 24 task cards. After reading each problem, students will determine whether they need to add or subtract the fractions. The fractions in each problem have like denominators. The answer key includes the simplified answer and the answer before it is simplified. Some answers can be written as a mixed number. This is great for problem solving as they can be solved using a variety of strategies: drawing pictures, number lines, or with the standard addition and subtraction algori

This product is a wonderful introduction to converting mixed numbers and improper fractions. First, students will use pictures to write improper fractions and mixed numbers. As they use the pictures, students will discover and discuss how to convert mixed numbers and improper fractions. They will write down their findings, then solve several example problems. This activity works best as a whole group. My improper fraction and mixed numbers task cards provide additional practice, which can be com

This product includes 5 prompts, each with three related constructed response questions. Students will show a complete understanding of fractions by explaining their work and solving error analyis problems. This resource is great for standardized test prep or as a performance task the end of a unit. The questions involve skills including equivalent fractions, simplifying factions, comparing/ordering fractions, adding and subtracting fractions and mixed and mixed numbers with the same denominator

The purpose of this product is to introduce the concept of remainders to students. Students will use counters to divide 2-digit numbers and will gain a conceptual understanding of remainders. They will relate the counters to the long division algorithm. This product includes 3 long division problems to be solved with counters (one page each)6 long division problems that can be solved with the traditional algorithm or with counters (teacher's choice)Answer keys for all pages

This activity is perfect for the first week of school, decorations for open house night, or just a fun way to practice order of operations and writing equations! Each student will write equations for their age, shoe size, number of siblings, birth date, and number of pets. This activity is easy to differentiate for students in different grade levels or with differing ability levels. I suggest beginning this activity by creating examples of equations as a class for a few of the prompts. For examp

Help your students develop conceptional understanding of comparing fractions with these three strategies: Compare fractions with like numerators or denominatorsCompare fractions using benchmarks (1/2 or 1)Compare fractions by finding the least common denominatorEach concept includes one page (front and back) with detailed instructions for the strategy. There is a review worksheet included, where students compare fractions using one of the three strategies they have learned and check the box of t

This product includes 24 task cards to help students practice converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions. The denominators range between 2 and 12. The following task cards are included: 8 using pictures to write mixed numbers and improper fractions4 converting from improper fractions to mixed numbers (basic)4 converting from mixed numbers to improper fractions (basic)8 word problems converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions

This resource contains eight fraction sorts elementary math students. Each sort contains 12 math problems to be sorted into 2, 3, or 4 categories. These activities provide reinforcement to help students practice each topic. The topics include: Simplifying fractionsSimplest form sort (choose whether or not the fraction is already simplified)Compare fractions to 1/2- benchmark fraction sortCompare fractionsAdding and subtracting fractions (simplified answers)Decomposing fractionsMultiplying fracti

I created this worksheet and scavenger hunt for an all girls STEM-careers camp. The girls were ages 6-12, so we completed the worksheet together, and did the scavenger hunt in two groups based on age. The clues for the scavenger hunt will probably need to be rewritten based on the locations you have available. Additionally, the answer to the first question on the worksheet is "girls rock", and this may also need to be changed in a typical classroom or enrichment setting. Overall, this is a great
