Tasks also include a recording sheet where applicable. They are meant to be used as ideas. Please make changes and adaptations as necessary for the students in your class. All of the ideas for the tasks in this bank are common picture book math problems or were created by UVU School of Education Faculty.  If you use one of these tasks, please complete our Picture Book Task Survey so that we can learn more about your experience teaching, how students solve problems, and improve our Picture Book Task Bank.If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us at creativelearning@uvu.edu or nicole.gearing@uvu.edu.

Welcome to a Fractions Review with Mr. J (Spanish version)! Need a refresher on how to add fractions, subtract fractions, multiply fractions, and/or divide fractions? Everyone needs a refresher from time to time, so this video is for you if you're looking for help with fractions. Mr. J will go through examples of adding fractions (like and unlike denominators), subtracting fractions (like and unlike denominators), multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions.

About Math with Mr. J: This channel offers instructional videos that are directly aligned with math standards. Teachers, parents/guardians, and students from around the world have used this channel to help with math content in many different ways. All material is absolutely free.

Mr. J is very good at walking you step by step to teach you upper grade math, 5-6 grade math. I like using his videos to teach my students in class. I can pause it and have them use their white boards to practice with Mr. J to understand how to do the lesson step by step.

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important aspects of the task and its potential use.
