Grade Level: 5
Subject/Topic: Math
Rationale: Students need to be able to add and subtract with both fractions and mixed numbers.

Objectives:

TSW solve additions and subtraction problems with mixed numbers

Introduction (Anticipatory Set/Motivation): What do we remember from Math that we have been
working on this week?
Information Giving: Review adding and subtracting mixed numbers
Modeling: Solve example as students watch: 8 7/8 3 3/8
Check for Understanding: How would the answer change if I change a number? 8 7/8 3 4/8
Guided Practice: Solve a word problem as a group. Students will come up and help me solve the
question
Independent Practice: QR code stations- students will go to each station and solve the questions
on their own with the use of math supplements
Closure: We will go over the questions and answers as a class
Enrichment/Extension: Students will create their own mixed number addition or subtraction
problem and answer it
Accommodations:
1. Use of multiplication chart
2. Use of fraction chart
3. Access to notes
Assessment/Evaluation (Students):
Students will turn in their answers from the independent activity
Observations through independent practice
