Add & Subtract Fractions

5th Grade

Alabama Course of Study Standards: 10

Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators, using fraction equivalence to calculate a sum or difference of fractions or mixed numbers with like denominators.

Arkansas Academic Standards: 5.NF.A.1

Efficiently, accurately, and with some degree of flexibility, add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) using equivalent fractions and common denominators

For example: Understand that 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12 (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd)

Note: The focus of this standard is applying equivalent fractions, not necessarily finding least common denominators or putting results in simplest form.

Arizona - K-12 Academic Standards: 5.NF.A.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators (e.g., 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12).

Common Core State Standards: Math.5.NF.1 or 5.NF.A.1

Tennessee Academic Standards: 5.NF.A.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)

North Carolina - Standard Course of Study: 5.NF.1

Add and subtract fractions, including mixed numbers, with unlike denominators using related fractions: halves, fourths and eighths; thirds, sixths, and twelfths; fifths, tenths, and hundredths.
  • Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers.
  • Solve one- and two-step word problems in context using area and length models to develop the algorithm. Represent the word problem in an equation.

New York State Next Generation Learning Standards: 5.NF.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.
e.g.,
  • 1/3 + 2/9 = 3/9 + 2/9 = 5/9
  • 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12

Ohio's Learning Standards: 5.NF.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers and fractions greater than 1) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12.
In general, a/b + c/d = (a/b x d/d) + (c/d x b/b) = (ad + bc)/bd.

Wisconsin Academic Standards: 5.NF.A.1

Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers using flexible and efficient strategies, including renaming fractions with equivalent fractions. Justify using visual models (e.g., tape diagrams or number lines) and equations.
For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12.
