Students will have a basic understanding of fractions coming into 4th grade. In this unit students will get to explore new ways of representing fractions, including in a set of data, on number lines and using area models. Students will use their knowledge of fractions to compare fractions with like and unlike denominators.
Fractional models will help your 4th graders understand how much each mixed fraction represents so that they can better understand how to add them together.
Adding mixed number fractions with the same denominator is the first step to fraction operation mastery. Give this worksheet to your 4th grader to practice!
