About this worksheet
Adding and subtracting mixed numbers with the same denominator means working with the fractions and the whole numbers, and making or breaking a whole when needed. Each sheet has eight sums and eight differences, in turn, and your child writes each answer on the line. Building Confidence never carries or borrows, and the other levels do on about half the problems.
What your child will learn
- Add mixed numbers with like denominators
- Subtract mixed numbers with like denominators
- Make a whole when the fractions add to more than one
- Borrow a whole when the top fraction is too small
Common Core standard: 4.NF.B.3
Worked example
2 3/5 + 1 4/5 = 4 2/5, because 3/5 + 4/5 = 7/5, which is 1 2/5.
Common mistake
Leaving the fraction part larger than one whole, such as 3 7/5.
Helpful hint
Do the fractions first. If the answer is a whole or more, move it over to the whole numbers.
