Adding fractions is a fun game for kids to practice adding fractions with like denominators. Select two fractions that add to the number 1 and watch the monster grow! Help the monster reach full size as fast as you can!

VIDEO 1 OF 3 - This video addresses NC standard 5.NF.1. It explains WHY we create equivalent fractions when adding unlike denominators, and HOW to create equivalent fractions when adding unlike denominators.

This brief video shows students how to enter a fraction into the TI-15 calculator and to add fractions. Students should access to a TI-15 calculator while viewing, This video may be embedded within Google Classroom.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about adding fractions with different denominators.

Students reason about the meaning of adding fractions with unlike denominators in the context of an example problem. The mathematics task is intended to be a problem or question that encourages the use of mathematical practices. The dialogue is meant to show how students might engage in the mathematical practices as they work on the task.

This resource is a lesson plan in which a balloon covered flask with water is heated. Changes are recorded. There will be changes in the states of matter and a volume change while the total mass stays the same.

Students use fraction pieces to model the addition of fractions with like denominators and draw a model to justify their answers.

In this online interactive, students use a visual model to solve addition problems.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about adding mixed numbers with common denominators.

Students will use the San Francisco Symphony's Kids website to choose music that supports the events and people associated with the history of Oklahoma, such as Native Americans explorers and exploration; Civil War; Trail of Tears; Land Run; and farmers, and ranchers. Students will write two or three sentences to explain and support their selection of music. In small groups, students will create a statue or tableau depicting one of the events. Students will perform a tableau for the class with their musical selection as a background.

In this Khan Academy activity, students will practice applying the addition rule in context.

In this activity, students construct adding slide rules, scaled with linear calibrations like ordinary rulers. Students learn to move these scales relative to each other in ways that add and subtract distances, thus calculating sums and differences. This is Activity A1 in the "Far Out Math" educator's guide. Lessons within the guide include activities in which students measure, compare quantities as orders of magnitude, use scientific notation, and develop an understanding of exponents and logarithms using examples from NASA's GLAST mission. These are skills needed to understand the very large and very small quantities characteristic of astronomical observations. Note: In 2008, the GLAST mission was renamed Fermi, for the physicist Enrico Fermi.
