About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way.
  • Students record each decomposition with an equation and check it with a fraction bar.
  • Students decompose mixed numbers by writing each whole as a fraction, such as 1 = 5/5.

How to use

Use after students add fractions with like denominators. Give out paper strips as ribbons so students can fold and cut to show each sum before they write the equation.

Ribbon Crafts: Many Ways to Build a Fraction

Cut ribbon into pieces and write each fraction as a sum.

Cut the ribbon

Each bar is one whole yard of ribbon. The shaded part is the ribbon you have. Write the missing numerator.

1.

Jada has 5/8 yard of red ribbon. She cuts it into two pieces. One piece is 2/8 yard.

5/8 = 2/8 +  /8

2.

Tomás cuts 7/10 yard of blue ribbon into three pieces.

7/10 = 3/10 + 2/10 +  /10

3.

Grace cuts 4/5 yard of green ribbon into three pieces.

4/5 =  /5 + 1/5 + 1/5
