If you are looking for something fun to use for informal evaluation, this activity fits the bill! This is an interactive activity involving adding and subtracting like fractions. There are 22 cards, and each one features both an adding and subtracting word problem. For younger children, students could work with a partner; for the older students, it is best used as individual work. An answer key is provided. The activity correlates with the Common Core Standard 4.NF.B.3c.

Looking for a creative way to reinforce the concepts of "equivalent fractions" and "benchmark fractions"? Dominoes are a great way to represent fractions! This sheet combines writing equivalent fractions with determining benchmark fractions, such as "closer to zero", "closer to 1/2", or closer to one. My students have enjoyed working on this assignment; hope yours do, too!
