What educators are saying

This resource was super helpful in helping my students understand and use equivalent fractions to solve addition and subtraction problems. I was able to use it throughout the unit and the consistency helped my students to grasp the concepts much faster.
These notes were so helpful to my students. The work that came along with it helped the bigger picture with fractions and my students did really well with them

    Are your students significantly below grade level?  Does it seem like you are really on the “struggle bus” with fractions?  You are not alone! 

    This 5th Grade Fractions Unit includes two lessons on adding & subtracting fractions with LIKE denominators first.  This is where students build a foundational understanding of what it means to add or subtract fractions (aka DO NOT ADD THE DENOMINATOR!).  Students practice simplifying fractions, converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, and solving addition & subtraction word problems.  We nail down these basics and then introduce unlike denominators. 


    What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

    • Sally’s lessons follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
    • Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
    • Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!  

    In addition to the deliberate scaffolding, each 5th grade fractions packet includes an instructional guide jam-packed with teaching hacks and best practices.  There is also a “Misconceptions” section that allows you to be one step ahead of mistakes students are most likely to make.

    This Adding & Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators bundle is common core aligned to 5th grade standard 5.NF.1 (adding & subtracting fractions with unlike denominators) and 5.NF.2 (word problems involving adding & subtracting fractions with unlike denominators).  It also includes two lessons that review 4th grade standard 4.NF.2 (adding & subtracting fractions with like denominators).

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    Understand a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 with 𝘢 > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/𝘣.
    Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)
    Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
