Sharpening The Minds

Teaching adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can feel overwhelming for students when they jump straight to the algorithm. This unit helps students make sense of the math first modeling fraction before transitioning to the standard algorithm. This complete model-based unit walks students through fraction bars, area models, and then the standard algorithm for both adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Each strategy is explicitly modeled, practiced, and reinforced so studen
