How can I use these adding & subtracting fractions with like denominators worksheets?

  • Test-prep

What type of fraction word problems can I expect to find in this packet? 

  • Each page contains 6 addition & subtraction fraction word problems with proper fractions that have the same denominator.  
  • These fraction word problems are mixed operation, so students will need to read them carefully to determine the operation. 
  • Ample space to show work is provided for students.  
  • Students will encounter addition problems where the sum is improper and needs to be regrouped to make a mixed number. 
  • Students will also encounter problems where they must simplify the sum or difference. 

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, these adding & subtracting fractions with like denominators worksheets also include 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.

These fraction word problems are common core aligned to 5th grade standards 4.NF.3 (adding & subtracting fractions with like denominators).
