Put your students to work solving the Candy Shop's Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators Word Problems! I have found that many students struggle with applying the computations they know when faced with word problems. I created these 24 word problem task cards to challenge students to apply their knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions. This file also includes 24 task cards for representing adding and subtracting fractions with models based on the 24 word problems. Directions to show students how to model addition and subtraction of fractions problems are provided.

Included in Adding and Subtracting Fractions Task Cards:

✔ 24 adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators task cards

✔ 24 adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators representational model problems

✔ Student recording sheet

✔ Answer key

My word problem task cards contain themes that you can use year-round, no matter the season or holiday that is around the corner! Incorporating real-world, relevant themes allows students to connect with math concepts while having fun solving problems.
