Description
These fifth-grade math sketch notes (AKA doodle pages) are a powerful learning and teaching tool for subtracting fractions with unlike denominators using the standard algorithm. They cover essential math concepts and procedures for students in a visually appealing way. You can use this resource to supplement any math curriculum, and they are perfect for previewing/pre-teaching or reviewing/reinforcing.
These sketch pages are like mini anchor charts that your students actively create and can be referred to in the future.
While these were specifically created for 5th grade, there are no grade-level indicators on the student materials, so you can use these with older students.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Blank student note page (two sizes: 8.5 × 11 & composition notebook size for INBs)
- Detailed answer key
- Step-by-step PowerPoint
GUIDED NOTE-TAKING
Guiding your students through the note-taking process is so easy and requires almost zero preparation!
- PowerPoint: Each sketch note page comes with a step-by-step PowerPoint that you can use to guide your students as they complete their notes.
- Document Camera: Use a document camera to project a blank copy of the notes. Use the answer key provided to complete the note page in front of your students.
WHY SKETCH?
Sketch notes present your students with a meaningful and engaging activity they will love. Doodle note-taking activates verbal and visual modalities to capture concepts. The whole brain is absorbed in hearing, synthesizing, and retaining ideas. This high level of engagement helps students retain the content and leaves little room for distraction.

I tried to open these in Google Slides but it said the files #1 and #2 were too large. Please advise.
Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience. I just compressed the files a bit more. Could you redownload the resource and see if you're able to open it in Google Drive?
Why does the example say add and subtract fractions but it's showing multiplication?
Hello Kara! In order to make like denominators before adding or subtracting, students must first multiply by the GCF.
