Answer Key (Tutor Copy)
- 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
- 4/6 - 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
- 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
- 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6 (targets the add-the-tops-and-bottoms mistake)
- 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12
- 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10 (targets the add-the-tops-and-bottoms mistake)
- 10/12 - 3/12 = 7/12
- 9/12 + 2/12 = 11/12
- 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6 of a mile
- 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12 of a cup
Tutor note: Watch for Myra writing an answer like 2/5 for problem 4, which would mean she added the tops and the bottoms. If that happens, we suggest having her list multiples of each bottom number first and then rewrite each fraction before adding.
What it does
Builds a ready-to-print practice worksheet for one topic at one grade level, with an answer key for the tutor. Problems start easy and get harder, and the sheet can be tuned to a student's specific trouble spots.
Use it when: Use when a tutor or tutoring center needs a practice worksheet for a specific topic and grade level, such as "make a worksheet on fractions for 4th grade," "I need practice problems for Myra," or "build a homework sheet on past tense verbs."
