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.

This number sense lesson focuses on ordering fractions and mixed numbers on a number line. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students place each fraction or mixed number (from a group of four) on the number line one at a time by reading each number aloud, determining the sign and value of the whole number or fraction, and determining the denominator and numerator. Finally, they order the numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least using the number line. In addition to the lesson, there are sixteen pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
