Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.84 Use Visual Models to Explain Fraction Addition and Subtraction skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which diagram shows the operation in 4 − 7/12 = 3 5/12 with equal-sized parts?

ASet model with 12 equal objects per whole group; it starts with 4, removes 8/12, and leaves 3 4/12.

BSet model with 12 equal objects per whole group; it starts with 4 1/12, removes 7/12, and leaves 3 6/12.

CSet model with 11 equal objects per whole group; it starts with 4 4/11, removes 7/11, and leaves 3 8/11.

DSet model with 12 equal objects per whole group; it starts with 4, removes 7/12, and leaves 3 5/12.

Solution & Explanation:The denominator means each whole is divided into 12 equal parts, or twelfths. Count the unit parts: 48 twelfths - 7 twelfths = 41 twelfths, which is 3 5/12. The correct model starts at 4, removes 7/12, and leaves 3 5/12.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student is modeling 1 8/11 + 4/11 = 2 1/11. Which option is correct?

ATape diagram with each whole split into 11 equal parts; it shows 1 8/11 shaded plus 5/11 more shaded, ending with 2 2/11 shaded.

BTape diagram with each whole split into 11 equal parts; it shows 1 9/11 shaded plus 4/11 more shaded, ending with 2 2/11 shaded.

CTape diagram with each whole split into 11 equal parts; it shows 1 8/11 shaded plus 4/11 more shaded, ending with 2 1/11 shaded.

DTape diagram with each whole split into 12 equal parts; it shows 1 7/12 shaded plus 4/12 more shaded, ending with 1 11/12 shaded.

Solution & Explanation:The denominator means each whole is divided into 11 equal parts, or elevenths. Count the unit parts: 19 elevenths + 4 elevenths = 23 elevenths, which is 2 1/11. The correct model shows 1 8/11 plus 4/11 ending at 2 1/11.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Select the area rectangle that matches the equation 2 2/3 − 5/3 = 1.

AArea rectangle model with each whole split into 3 equal parts; it starts with 2 2/3 shaded, crosses out 6/3, and leaves 2/3 shaded.

BArea rectangle model with each whole split into 3 equal parts; it starts with 2 2/3 shaded, crosses out 5/3, and leaves 1 shaded.

CArea rectangle model with each whole split into 3 equal parts; it starts with 3 shaded, crosses out 5/3, and leaves 1 1/3 shaded.

DArea rectangle model with each whole split into 5 equal parts; it starts with 1 3/5 shaded, crosses out 5/5, and leaves 3/5 shaded.

Solution & Explanation:The denominator means each whole is divided into 3 equal parts, or thirds. Count the unit parts: 8 thirds - 5 thirds = 3 thirds, which is 1. The correct model starts at 2 2/3, removes 5/3, and leaves 1.
