This simple-looking problem reveals much about how well students understand unit fractions as well as representing fractions on a number line.

This task asks students to find and use two different common denominators to add the given fractions. The purpose of this question is to help students realize that they can use any common denominator to find a solution, not just the least common denominator.

This task asks students to use two different denominators to subtract fractions. The purpose of this is to help students realize that any common denominator will work, not just the least common denominator.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about finding the least common denominator.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about finding the reciprocal of fractions.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with a concrete experience they can relate to fraction multiplication. Perhaps more importantly, the task also purposefully relates length and locations of points on a number line, a common trouble spot for students. This task is meant for instruction and would be a useful as part of an introductory unit on fraction multiplication.

In this unit, students build on fraction concepts from previous grades to understand fractions as division. They also use visual models to make estimates, add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers, and check the reasonableness of their answers. Finally, students explore strategies for solving fraction-of problems.

Fraction Fling is an educational game where kids must match fractions to a model. A model will be presented at the top of the screen and fractions will be floating in bubbles. Kids must first pop the bubble which contains the fraction and then hit the actual fraction to answer the question.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about the conversion of fractions to decimals.

This video shows two different student-generated strategies for solving fair share problems leading to a fraction less than 1. This standard relates to Common Core standard 5.NF.3, and North Carolina standard NC.5.NF.3.

The end of this video helps teachers see how standard NF.3 can be introduced prior to NF.1 (addition/subraction of fractions with unlike denominators).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about fractions with common denominators - word problems.
