Learning Objective

Understand how to add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators.

What do you already know about adding and subtracting fractions?

Introduction to Fractions

Recap what fractions are and how they represent parts of a whole. Discuss the concept of numerators and denominators.

Adding Like Fractions

Demonstrate adding fractions with the same denominators using visual aids and interactive examples.

Subtracting Like Fractions

Illustrate subtracting fractions with common denominators through real-life scenarios and practical exercises.

Adding Unlike Fractions

Explain the process of finding a common denominator and adding fractions with different denominators step by step.

Subtracting Unlike Fractions

Guide students through the steps of finding a common denominator and subtracting fractions with different denominators.

Practice Time!

Provide a set of practice problems for students to apply their understanding of adding and subtracting fractions.

Review and Recap

Summarize the key concepts learned and address any lingering questions or challenges.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
