Adding Fractions using Manipulatives - Part 1 ‖ Fraction Fundamentals ‖ Grades 3-6 ‖ Project STAIR

Fractions are one of the most challenging topics in math, but they are also critical for students to understand to be successful in algebra. One way to help students understand fractions and feel comfortable adding them is by using manipulatives. Sarah Powell from UT shows how you can use area model manipulatives to teach students how to add fractions that have like denominators.
This video is one of 30 videos all targeting teaching fractions. This video is also part of Project STAIR, a research-based resource for parents and teachers who have children that are struggling in math.
