Adding and subtracting fractions with same denominator worksheet

In a worksheet designed to enhance the understanding of adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, Activity 1 introduces an interactive task for students. They are required to use proper fraction digit cards with identical denominators to perform addition or subtraction operations. Once the calculations are completed, the students exchange their work with peers for cross-checking, promoting collaborative learning and peer review. This activity not only reinforces the mathematical concept but also encourages students to support each other's learning.

Activity 2 takes a creative turn by asking the children to consolidate their understanding through art. They are provided with large sheets of plain paper and coloured marker pens to design a poster that summarises the steps involved in adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. For a more dynamic learning experience, the children have the option to compose a rap that encapsulates the process, adding a musical element to the learning and making it more memorable. In Activity 3, the focus shifts to problem-solving and reverse engineering. Students use proper fraction digit cards and whiteboards with pens to determine a range of addition or subtraction calculations that result in a given proper fraction. This task challenges them to think critically and explore multiple solutions to a problem, deepening their comprehension of the objective to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
