Ideas for using these sheets

  • Shade the first fraction on a bar, then cross out the parts taken away.
  • Point out that 6/6 is one whole, so 6/6 – 1/6 is one part less than a whole.
  • Mix in a sheet of “Add and subtract” from the settings once both feel easy.

Every setting can be changed above before you print, and “New problems” makes a fresh sheet as often as you like.
