Add & Subtract Mixed Numbers – 14 Worksheet Sets
Math, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Fractions, Grade 4, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
These 14 sets of differentiated worksheets aims to develop all the skills needed to add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators. Combining 2 important areas of the Common Core 4th grade Math curriculum on fractions these resources create a smooth transition from adding and subtracting fractions less than one to adding and subtracting mixed numbers, all with the same denominators. The method used is as follows: 1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 2. Add or subtract the improper fractions 3. Convert the final fraction back to a mixed number. There are some important additional interim steps included to make the process complete: Set 1: Add 2 fractions with the sum < 1 Set 2: Add 3 fractions with the sum < 1 Set 3: Subtract with both fractions < 1 Set 4: Numerical questions: Addition & subtraction, all fractions and answers < 1 Set 5: Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers Set 6: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 1: Whole number = 1 Set 7: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Part 2: Whole numbers from 1 to 4 Set 8: Numerical questions: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions Set 9: Add 2 fractions , each < 1 but their sum >1 Set 10: Numerical questions: Add 2 or 3 fractions with sum > 1 Set 11: Add 2 mixed numbers Set 12: Subtract mixed numbers Set 13: Numerical questions: Add 2 mixed numbers Set 14: Numerical questions: Subtract mixed numbers All the above, except where it states 'Numerical questions' , use visual fraction models. Within all of the sets you have a choice of the level of questions. With the visual fraction models, you can decide on 3 levels how much information to provide. For the Numerical questions there are 2 levels where the range of denominators used are different, and in set 13 & 14 the range of whole numbers. A little memory jogger on each Worksheet At the top of the worksheets using the visual fraction model there is an example shown as a memory jogger and as a teaching tool if needed. How many worksheets are in each set ? Lots and lots. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, so the questions change every time. This will allow you to create as many new worksheets you will need for practice throughout the year (classwork, homework, revision, fillers etc) or even give small groups of students in your class different sets of questions either at the same level or differentiated . There will certainly be enough to ensure fluency in this topic. You could also use any of the worksheets to explain or introduce the subject to your class as you will have almost unlimited examples to work with and they will be different from the actual worksheets you hand out to your students. As these worksheets need little explanation and no preparation, they are ideal if you need to leave work for a replacement teacher. Answers can be found on the second page of every worksheet, are automatically generated when you create a new worksheet. Note These resources are PDF documents and work with the official Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers with the randomising buttons also working via a touchscreen (PC or Mac)or on an Interactive Whiteboard. Common Core 4.NF.B.3.A A Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole. 4.NF.B.3.C Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. Australian Curriculum Year 5 Investigate strategies to solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominators (ACMNA103)

This gunpowder reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Gunpowder Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science Primary Topic: How gunpowder was discovered and used over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how gunpowder began in China during the Tang dynasty when alchemists mixed ingredients while searching for a life-lasting “elixir.” Identifies the three main powders in gunpowder—charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter (also called potassium nitrate)—and describes what saltpeter adds to help burning. Describes how gunpowder behaves differently in an open pile versus a tight tube, leading to a strong push of hot gas. Traces how “fire medicine” was used first for celebrations and signals, then developed into fire arrows, bombs, fire lances, and hand cannons by the late 1200s. Shows how ideas travel as gunpowder and stories about rockets reached Europe, and how uses expanded to quarrying rock and digging tunnels, not only fighting. Learning Goals Students will describe how the text says gunpowder was discovered during the Tang dynasty in China. Students will identify the three main powders in gunpowder and explain what saltpeter adds to the burning process. Students will compare what happens when gunpowder burns in an open pile versus in a tight tube. Students will explain how “fire medicine” changed from signals and celebrations to fire arrows and later weapons over time. Students will describe two non-celebration uses of the powder mentioned in the text (quarrying rock and digging tunnels). Students will explain what the author means by “Ideas travel,” using the example of gunpowder reaching Europe. Key Vocabulary From the Text alchemists — people who mixed ingredients while searching for an “elixir.” elixir — a life-lasting drink they searched for. charcoal — powder from burned wood. sulfur — one of the three main powders. saltpeter — a mineral also called potassium nitrate. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think might happen if a powder burns very fast? Comprehension questions: How did the mixture get the name huoyao, or “fire medicine”? Comprehension questions: What role does saltpeter play when a tiny grain is lit? Comprehension questions: How did the uses of “fire medicine” change from celebrations to later tools or weapons?

The story is told through the eyes of Finch's daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), who is about six years old when the events of the film take place. Scout, along with her brother Jem (Philip Alford) and their friend Dill (John Megna), become fascinated with the trial of Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a black man who is accused of raping a young white woman. As the trial unfolds, it becomes clear that Robinson is innocent and that the case is simply a product of racial prejudice and fear. Despite the evidence in Robinson's favor, the all-white jury finds him guilty, and he is sentenced to death. The trial, and the events leading up to it, cause a great deal of turmoil in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. Finch, who believes deeply in justice and equality, becomes the target of threats and abuse from some members of the community. However, he remains steadfast in his belief that everyone, regardless of race or social standing, deserves a fair trial and equal treatment under the law. In the end, Robinson is killed while attempting to escape from prison, and Finch's own children are attacked by the real perpetrator of the crime. The film ends with Scout realizing the importance of her father's principles and the power of empathy and understanding in a society that is often divided by fear and hatred.
