Description: This deck of 24 Boom Cards is in the format of fill-in-the-blank, paperless format with a fun Christmas theme. Students will simplify fractions. This resource is perfect for 4th, 5th, or 6th grade students to practice simplifying (reducing) fractions to the lowest terms. The cards in this deck align with: CCSS 4.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. CCSS: 4.NF.A.2. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <., and justify the conclusions. The skills in this activity are also a prerequisite for this Common Core Standard: 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. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
