Description
Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers Word Problem RTI No Prep Resource! This resource is for unlike denominators only.
Click here for the bundle of all 5 of my Word Problem No Prep Intervention Resources for 5th Grade.
Word Problem Practice
This resource includes 30 word problems that focus on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. (15 word problems for fractions and 15 for mixed numbers) I created this resource to use as an intervention for my students struggling with interpreting and solving word problems.
On each page, the students are presented with a word problem. The students must:
- Retell the word problem in their own words.
- Tell the operation they will use and why they will use it.
- Solve the problem.
- Prove their answer makes sense.
- Prove their answer is correct.
The resource includes an answer key and a skills alignment page. Use the skills alignment page if you want to target specific skills (such as adding mixed numbers or subtracting mixed numbers).
I have included two different blank templates. One with a space for you to write in or glue a word problem, and the other as just a blank template that can work with any word problem.
I have also included the word problems in a copy friendly version with 7-8 word problems on a page. You could give the students the word problem and the blank template. The template could be laminated and written on with dry erase markers.
Word Problem Sorts
This resource includes 18 word problems that focus on adding and subtracting fractions. Your students will be required to read each problem and sort it after determining which operation is needed to solve.
On each page, the students are presented with six word problems. The students must:
- Cut out each word problem.
- Sort each word problem into the correct side based on which operation is needed to solve.
- Glue each word problem to the page.
Use the word problem sorts to provide grade-level word problem practice in a less threatening format. Students will read rigorous word problems with the main focus of understanding the context of the word problem and determining the operation that would be used. They will then sort the word problems accordingly. The activity can be extended by having students solve the problems or solve a few of them.
Digital Word Problem Practice and Digital Word Problem Sorts
Digital versions of both the word problems and the sorts are designed for use in Google Slides.
To assign only a few of the slides at a time, make a copy of your master. Rename the copy. Delete the slides you don't want to assign. Then assign your new file to your students.
For digital access and for more information on assigning Google Slides activities, see pages 7-9 of the PDF.
Please see the video preview to see how the digital versions work.
