Printed in full color, each card is double sided. On the front side the students will find a section for Concept and another section for Operations. Turn the card over and each one contains a word problem that will challenge and move them towards developing higher level thinking skills using specific word problem strategies.

The complete setup includes:

  • Addition and Subtraction with Unlike Denominators
  • Multiplication of Fractions

This set of materials was designed with those students who are ready to move beyond the introductory understanding of fractions. Based on NCTM standards, the skills presented here will not only help your students with their tests of basic skills, but will prepare them for the advanced skills they will need in pre-algebra and algebra.
