Teacher giving instructions
Solving Multi-Step Word Problems with Rational Numbers
Students will apply strategies and the use of an analysis tool to break down steps in a word problem to understand the vocabulary and processes necessary to apply correct math operations and analyze solution feasibility.
Hopping into Real-World Ratios
Students will listen to a book read aloud called If You Hopped Like a Frog that introduces students to proportions. Students will then create word problems for the different animals and their proportions in the story.
Fraction Division is Sweet
In learning stations, students use concrete objects, pictorial models, and digital models to represent and divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
