This Common Core number and operations -- fractions lesson focuses on adding mixed numbers with like denominators. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for Common Core assessments. In this lesson, students will read the problem aloud, identify the whole numbers and fractions, and write them as an addition problem. Then, they will combine the sum of both problems to determine the answer. Finally, they will reduce the fraction or regroup, if needed. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice with questions modeled after the Common Core assessment items.

This number sense lesson focuses on adding fractions with a common denominator. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and make sure both fractions have a common denominator. Then, they find the sum of the fractions by keeping the denominator the same, adding the numerators, and then representing the sum by shading in the figure. Then, they determine if the sum can be shown by an equivalent fraction using lower numbers, and shading in the figure. Finally, students read the addition problem with the sum. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

Standards are often confused with being Learning Objectives. Standards are the content and skills students need to know by the end of a school year. Learning Objectives are the content and skills students need to know by the end of a lesson. Our Next Generation Science Standards Learning Objectives & Essential Tools guides display teachable Learning Objectives alongside the standards for easy reference. Here on Educeri, the guide also links to relevant lessons right here on the site, making finding a lesson easy. As we add more lessons, we will be updating this guide, so check back regularly.
