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 and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after the Common Core assessment items.
