How to Use These Math Centers:

• Each math center has an answer sheet that can be turned in and graded for student accountability.
• The centers can be reused over and over again. Just prep them once and use them for years to come!
• If you prefer, you can also create single-use centers with the included black and white, printable options.
• The teacher guide includes a printable packet cover page that you can use if you prefer to create weekly math center work packets for your students.

Skills Covered:

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.1: Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.2: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.√ß
