About this worksheet

What students practice

Students solve story problems that add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Students use benchmark fractions to estimate answers and judge if they are reasonable.
Students solve two-step fraction story problems about parts read and parts left.

How to use

Use after students can add and subtract unlike fractions. Read each story aloud, and have students estimate with 0, 1/2, and 1 before they find the exact answer.
