What educators are saying
This is a game changer. My students struggle with this so much. I have it up on my wall, but next year I will be printing a smaller version for student notebooks.
This anchor chart was perfect for my math classroom. Students struggle with simplifying, and this anchor chart allowed students to analyze the fraction. My students constantly referenced this.
Description
This flowchart guides the student through an easy, sequential way of simplifying fractions. It uses prime numbers to check for factors. Includes answers and explanations to 4 practice problems. Includes both black and white and color versions.
This poster also work well to help students break down numbers into their prime factors to find GCF and LCM.

CCSS4.NF.A.1
Explain why a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 is equivalent to a fraction (𝘯 × 𝘢)/(𝘯 × 𝘣) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
CCSS5.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.)
