About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students add mixed numbers with like denominators, regrouping when the fraction parts make more than 1.
  • Students subtract mixed numbers with like denominators by trading 1 whole for fractional parts.
  • Students find and explain mistakes in mixed number subtraction.

How to use

Use after students can rename a whole as a fraction, like 1 = 4/4. Have them sketch fraction bars for the regrouping problems in Part 1 and Part 2 before working the review on their own.
