Fraction Word Problems – Fraction Story Problems in Four Formats for Grade 4-5

Description

This set of 20 fraction word problems reflect the Common Core and other rigorous state standards for grades 4 and 5. The 20 problems included require students to use all four operations to solve “real world” fraction word problems. These problems are geared for students in grades 4 and 5 and stress problem solving and higher-level thinking!

Problems are included in FOUR formats:

• with multiple copies on a page to be cut out and glued into a math journal

• on reproducible pages to use as practice sheets (4 problems per page)

• and on full sheet pages that give workspace for one problem, a place for students to write matching equations, and a lined area for students to explain their work—an important part of the CCSS!

• Full digital slide access!

Answers are included as are three rubrics to use to help in scoring the Standards for Mathematical Practice!

Why did I write these?

Over the years I have noticed that students tend to look for routine in math class. If it’s a division unit, they will divide any two numbers they find! If it’s a subtraction unit, they try to regroup everything!

For that reason, I try hard to sprinkle in a variety of problems all year that require students to think and apply what they have learned—perhaps draw a picture or make a table to help . . . but, most importantly, to THINK about math. I hope you find these useful!

I hope you find uses for all three versions of the problems…perhaps using a page or two from each as you see fit. You can use this as a part of a unit on fractions or simply use them throughout the year to improve problem-solving!
