Description
I created this cheat sheet to help my 7th graders with IEPs who are included in the general education classroom. Even though simplifying fractions is typically taught in 4th grade, I found that many of middle schoolers couldn't remember the steps to reduce them. Cheat sheets like this help support more independence when students practice what they've learned. It can also be helpful to parents assisting their children with homework at home.
The resource includes two pages that can be printed as one two-sided cheat sheet. The first side covers:
- What it means to simplify a fraction
- Finding the greatest common factor
- Using the greatest common factor to simplify a fraction
The second side covers:
- Prime numbers, factors, and prime factorization
- Completing a factor tree to find prime factors
- Rewriting the fraction as a set of factors being multiplied together
- Simplifying the fraction by crossing out matching factors

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.
