Fractions (add/subtract)

Fractions represent parts of a whole or parts of a set, introducing students to numbers between whole numbers. Learning progresses from recognizing and naming fractions to comparing, finding equivalents, and performing operations with fractions.

Fractions are essential for measurement, algebra, statistics, and countless real-world applications from cooking to construction. Understanding fractions is one of the strongest predictors of future math success, particularly in algebra and beyond.

Teaching Tips

Always use visual models (circles, bars, number lines). Emphasize that fractions are numbers, not just parts of shapes. Build equivalence understanding before operations. Connect fractions to decimals and percents. Use real-world contexts—cooking, measurement, sharing.

Quick assessment ideas

Have students model fractions with manipulatives or drawings. Ask students to compare fractions and explain reasoning. Test equivalent fraction understanding. Include fraction operation problems at appropriate grade level. Use word problems requiring fraction interpretation.
