Note to the Teacher:

Thank you for purchasing the 5.NF.1 Error Analysis for Adding and Subtracting
Mixed Numbers! I hope you and your students enjoy finding the errors
and solving these problems correctly!
This resource contains 6 problems. Each problem shows 1-2 steps used to
solve the problem. Each problem contains an error. The student must identify
the error, name the error, and then solve the problem correctly.
It is available in both color and black and white.
The answer key is on the last page.
This resource can be used as an early-finisher task, in class as a worksheet,
as homework or as part of stations. It is aligned to 5.NF.1
