Fractions Reference Sheets: Math Supports Grade 4

While teaching fourth grade I noticed that my students need a lot of support with grasping and applying math concepts and strategies. These reference sheets are like cheat sheets or a study guide for the math concepts and standards we cover in FRACTIONS.

Students glue the half sheets side by side into their math notebooks and take their notebooks home daily to assist in homework or study for an upcoming quiz or test. Parents find these math reference sheets helpful too because it gives them a better idea of what and how we are learning today’s math.

I put the larger 8.5 x 11 reference sheets on a math reference wall or bulletin board in my classroom to support my lessons and my students’ learning. These also support my students in small groups for reteaching.

Includes:

•Focus Standards and Mathematical Practices

17 reference/cheat sheets in both full (8.5 x 11) and half sheets.

•Whole Fractions

•Fractions- Decomposing fractions into smaller sums

•Finding Equivalent Fractions

•Finding Smaller and Larger Equivalent Fractions

•Comparing Fractions (Using tape diagrams and number line)

•Comparing Fractions (Using an area model and multiplication)

•Fraction Strips For Comparing & Ordering Fractions

•Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers

•Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

•Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

•Adding and Subtracting Fractions With Like Denominators

•Adding & Subtracting Mixed Numbers

•Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

•Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

•Ways to Add Mixed Numbers

I hope these reference posters & student supports are both helpful and useful to you and your students as they develop into mathematicians.
