This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to add fractions. Fraction tiles easily allow students to practice adding fractions of like or unlike denominators. Students should be familiar with the concept of mixed numbers or improper fractions before using fraction tiles to add fractions that will equal a fraction greater than 1.

This video demonstrates how to teach students to think flexibly about fractions. Similar to whole numbers, fractions can be put together and taken apart in many different combinations. Students should practice identifying these combinations so that they can become fluent with fraction addition and subtraction.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to model fraction addition with unit fractions that sum to 1. After a teacher models how to appropriately use fraction tiles to solve addition problems, students can use the tools to explore fractions with guided and independent practice.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to model fraction addition with unit fractions. After a teacher models how to appropriately use fraction tiles to solve addition problems, students can use the tools to explore fractions with guided and independent practice.
This video reviews key vocabulary related to fractions. It is important that teachers model the use of precise mathematical language so that students understand how to use correct vocabulary and can accurately communicate their ideas and solutions strategies related to fractions.
This video illustrates how to use the traditional addition algorithm with regrouping.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction circles to add fractions with unlike denominators. After a teacher models how to appropriately use fraction circles to solve addition problems, students can use the tools to explore fractions with guided and independent practice.
This video illustrates the use of manipulatives to help students integrate the concept of counting by ones with skill in grouping by tens.
This video demonstrates how to use base-10 blocks and a place value chart to help students subtract multi-digit numbers that require regrouping.
This video demonstrates how to use base-10 blocks to help students solve multiplication problems that cannot be solved with automatic retrieval.
