Videos, examples, solutions, and lessons to help Grade 4 students learn to understand a fraction  a / b  with  a  > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/ b .

A. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole. B. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.  Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8 . C. Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. D. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Common Core: 4.NF.3

Suggested Learning Targets

• I can use models to add and subtract fractions.
• I can use visual models to decompose a fraction. For example, 7/12 = 4/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12.
• I can add or subtract mixed numbers.
• I can solve word problems with fractions.

Word Problems with Like Denominators

Adding & Subtracting Fractions with Like Denominators Word Problems Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators in word problem format. Multiple representations are shown in the solutions (area, array, and mathematical methods). Example:

• Fuzzology had one cup of dog food in his bowl. He ate 7/8 of the tasty morsels. How much did he have left in his bowl?
• The “Chickadee Whisperer” puts 3 1/5 cups of sunflower seeds and 1 3/5 cups of mixed seeds into his bird feeder. How many total cups of bird seed are in the feeder?

Adding fractions word problem Example: James and Karlee caught a lizard in their backyard. Its body is 17/8 inches long, and its tail is 10/8 inches long. What is the length of the lizard’s body and tail together?

Subtracting fractions word problem Example: Pedro is suppose to practice piano for 3/4 of an hour everyday. Today, he has practiced 1/4 of an hour. What fraction of an hour does he need to practice?

Fraction word problems Example: Brandon ate 5 slices of pie. Gabriela ate 3 slices. If there are intially 9 equal slices. What fraction of the pie was eaten?

Fraction word Problems Example: Ashley ate 1 slice of cake, and Christopher ate 1 slice. If there were initially 5 slices, what fraction of the cake was eaten?

Fraction word problems Example: Kevin ate 1 slice of pizza, and Emily ate 2 slices. If Keven ate 1/5 of the pizza, what fraction of the pizza is remaining?

Use visual models and equations to represent and solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions (4.NF.3d) Example: Half of a number, increased by 8, gave the same result as the number increased by 2.

4.nf.3abcd The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of the CCSS. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards and usually includes examples/illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.

Timed worksheets also help the student to enhance  time management skills, especially while solving particular types of questions. The student can also compare the scores and timing with friends and challenge them as well.

How is the equivalent fraction of another fraction calculated?

An equivalent fraction is calculated by multiplying a specific number with both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. An infinite number of equivalent fractions of a given fraction can be calculated. 4th Grade worksheets also contain problems on equivalent fractions.

How are 4th grade fraction worksheets advantageous to students?

When students solve worksheets on their own, it promotes active learning as they feel a sense of accomplishment. It raises the curiosity level about fractions in relation to specific topics, and in turn, enables them to take up more challenging questions. In the fraction worksheets for grade 4 by BYJU’S Math, students also learn the method of applying step-wise solutions that further strengthens their understanding of operations related to fractions.

How does the number line help the student to add two fractions?

A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a line that increases a student’s focus on numbers. For example, 4th grade worksheets will show a student how addition is done with two fractions by drawing a number line.

How to compare fractions?

To compare fractions, the very first step is to make the same denominators. 4th grade worksheets have problems that in order to solve these, equivalent fractions need to be calculated with the same denominators. When the denominators are the same, fractions can easily be compared on the basis of their numerators.

Why are these interactive worksheets necessary for students?

These free online interactive grade 4 fraction worksheets link learning multiple concepts with a fun element. These worksheets follow the common core math structure and assist the student to be completely familiar with the methods and terms used in 4th grade.
