About This Lesson

Ever wondered how to teach adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators in an engaging way to your 5th or 6th-grade students?

In this lesson plan, students will learn about adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and their real-life applications. Through artistic, interactive guided notes, check for understanding, practice coloring by number activity, and a maze worksheet, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of fraction operations.

The lesson ends with a real-life example that explores how adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can be used in everyday scenarios.

Standards

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.
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.
