3. Independently – in your notes (on lined paper)  Take a minute to write down anything you remember about fractions.

4. Now, with your group....  Together with your group, discuss what you each wrote down. On the sticky notes, write what your group agreed upon and then place your notes on the posters around the room for: ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION.

5. Walk About...  Now, each group will have an opportunity to “walk about” the room and read the posters. If your group finds something that they agree with, but didn’t have it already listed in their notes, write it down now.

6. Put it All TOGETHER...  Let’s now talk about the posters.  Addition – do we all agree with everything listed?  Subtraction – do we all agree with everything listed?  Multiplication - do we all agree with everything listed?  Division - do we all agree with everything listed?

7. Fill in your foldable...  Now, fill in your foldable with everything your group, and the class has now agreed upon for ADDITION of fractions, SUBTRACTION of fractions, MULTIPLICATION of fractions, and DIVISION of fractions.
