This is a 6 page PDF file that contains computation practice for both addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed number (unlike denominators). Four of the sheets are straight computation, and the final two are addition and subtraction problems that use the variable n in various positions for the kids to solve. These were created for an above level fifth grade math class learning sixth grade objectives. They were designed to give practice with changing denominators that are fairly low, and

This is a 12-page pdf that contains additional practice designed to be used with students learning how to combine like terms to solve for a variable. I have used these to support a method of teaching children to build equations and physically remove pieces to simplify equations. Some of the sheets use a symbol to represent an unknown, and others use a letter. Each equation has a positive, whole number solution. There are problems included in which the terms in the equations are added and su

This is a mixed set of 9 activity sheets and 5 note sheets that I use with my class as we work through what it means to multiply with fractions. It includes a whole number times a fraction, a mixed number, and a fraction times a fraction. The intent of these sheets is not computation practice, but to understand the connection between multiplying with fractions and repeated addition, area arrays, and then how this differs from dividing with a fraction. I have updated this file to include more
