School Mural Day: Share the Wall in Fraction Pieces

Write one fraction as a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way.

Panel by panel

Each mural wall is split into equal panels. Fill in the missing parts of each sum.

1.
The mural wall has 6 equal panels. Ava paints 4/6 of the wall, one panel at a time.

4/6 = 1/6 + 1/6 +   +  

2.
Ben and Leah paint 5/8 of a mural wall together. Ben paints 2/8 of the wall. Leah paints the rest of the 5/8.

5/8 = 2/8 +  

3.
A big green dragon covers 7/10 of a mural wall. Write the missing numerator in each way to break apart 7/10.

7/10 = 3/10 +  /10
7/10 = 1/10 +  /10 + 1/10
