- p. 7Estimate First. Round fractions to 0, one half, or 1 and mixed numbers to whole numbers to estimate.
- p. 8Add Mixed Numbers. Find each sum.
- p. 9Subtract and Rename. Find each difference.
- p. 10Three Numbers at Once. Find each answer, and work from left to right.
- p. 11Fraction Code. Find each answer in the code bank, then write its letter in the box.
- p. 12Recipes and Building. Solve each problem, and write the answer in the box.
- p. 13Estimate, Then Solve. Estimate with whole numbers, then solve and check that your answer makes sense.
- p. 14Mixed Review. Solve each problem, then check your work.
The standard
Fluently add and subtract any combination of fractions to solve problems.
Element 6.NR.1.1 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 6.NR.1: Solve relevant, mathematical problems involving operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimal numbers.
What students practice
Students estimate with benchmarks of 0, one half, and 1, add mixed numbers and rename the extra whole, subtract with renaming, work with three numbers at once, and solve recipe and building problems. Denominators come from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12, and every key shows a worked line with the common denominator.
