Fraction Tutorials

We recently finished a unit on fractions that covered; adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. Fractions can be tricky things, and this was probably the most challenging math unit of 5th grade.

To help us review and remember some of the more challenging operations, a few students made tutorials, below, highlighting strategies for multiplication and division of fractions. (Other tutorials are still in the works!)

Hopefully these tutorials will help you understand and solve fraction operations!

    You all did a great job of sharing your strategies. I am very impressed. You could teach these to my kindergarteners. Thanks for sharing. Mrs. Morehouse
