About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students add mixed numbers with like denominators, regrouping when the fraction parts make a whole.
  • Students subtract mixed numbers with like denominators by trading one whole for fraction parts.
  • Students rewrite mixed numbers as fractions greater than 1 to add and subtract them.

How to use

Use after students can add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Let them sketch fraction bars or rewrite mixed numbers as fractions for the problems that need regrouping.
