3. L/O: Fluently Add Mixed Numbers
Activity Two – Fraction Strips
Build your two fractions and shade what you have.
Are the unit fractions the same?
Can you make one to look like the other or do we have to change both?
Do it.
Name your unit fractions so you don’t forget what the unit is and tear off what you don’t have.
Combine the fractions, then the wholes.
Look at the fraction; does it need to be simplified?
Look at your estimate; is your answer reasonable?
