What kids do
“Multiply the numerators. Multiply the denominators. Simplify.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Write every answer in simplest form.
Teacher tip
Draw one problem as an area model on grid paper so kids see why the answer gets smaller.
How to use it
- Ask kids to say each fraction out loud as “3 out of 4 equal parts.”
- Shade lightly with colored pencil so mistakes are easy to fix.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Adding the denominators (1/4 + 1/4 = 2/8). Draw it to show the pieces stay fourths.
Talk about it
- Why is 1/8 smaller than 1/4 when 8 is bigger than 4?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
