How to help with this skill

Fifth graders strengthen work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages and mathematical expressions.

  • Find the denominator: it tells how many equal parts form a whole.
  • Find the numerator: it tells how many parts are counted.
  • For addition, use a common denominator before combining numerators.

Try this: Draw fraction strips or fold paper to make equal parts.
