Objective

cannflow — 2024-07-03 20:04:38 UTC

Students will be able to add fractions with unlike denominators accurately by finding a common denominator. This aligns with the standard 5.NF.A.1.

Essential Question

cannflow — 2024-07-03 20:04:39 UTC

What is the process to add fractions with unlike denominators?

Guided Practice

cannflow — 2024-07-03 20:04:39 UTC

In small groups, have students practice finding common denominators of given fractions and adding them together. Use a collaborative tool like Padlet to share their work and compare different methods.

Lesson Summary

cannflow — 2024-07-03 20:04:39 UTC

Lead a discussion on the different methods used to find a common denominator and add fractions. Have students share their strategies and what they found most challenging or easy.

Exit Ticket

LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE-Also known as Least Common Denominator

It is found by listing multiples of the Denominators from the problem and then determining the smallest multiple the denominators have in common.

FACTOR- the numbers multiplied together to get a product (multiple)

GREATEST COMMON FACTOR- the greatest number of all of the factors that they have in common
