SETTING THE STAGE TEACHER NOTESApplication Problem
1. Display the following problem. Allow students to use RDW to solve. Discuss with students after they have solved the problem.
Fractions are all around us! Make a list of times that you have used fractions, heard fractions, or seen fractions. Be ready to share your ideas.
Connection to Big IdeaToday, we will solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions.
Note: The Application Problem encourages students to think of real life examples of fractions. The Application Problem contextualizes previously learned skills in the unit and prepares students for today’s problem-solving lesson involving fractions. Have students spend a few minutes brainstorming together in small groups and then share out ideas whole group.

Concepts
Problem 1: Use the RDW process to solve a word problem involving the addition of fractions.
1. Display the following problem:
Sue ran 910
mile on Monday and 710
mile on Tuesday. How many miles did Sue run in the 2 days?
2. Students may initially represent the problem by drawing number bonds or number lines as they did in the previous lessons to model addition. Assist students to find the parts and wholes.
3. In Problem 1, the 2 parts, 910
and 710
, make the
whole, 135
. Encourage students to represent this relationship as a tape diagram to model, as done with whole number addition.
4. In contrast to their previous solutions, students are not drawing the fractional units to count. Instead they are seeing the relationship the two fractions have with each other and calculating based on what they know about whole number and fraction addition.
Problem 2: Use the RDW process to solve a word problem involving the addition and subtraction of fractions.
1. Display the following problem:Mr. Salazar cut his son’s birthday cake into 8 equal pieces. Mr. Salazar, Mrs. Salazar, and the birthday boy each ate 1 piece of cake. What fraction of the cake was left?
2. Although each person had 1 piece of cake, the students must consider the 1 piece as a fractional unit of the whole. The whole is represented as 1, and students may choose to take from or add to the whole.
3. Again, encourage students to think about the parts and the whole when drawing a picture to represent the problem. A tape diagram is a good way to connect the part–whole relationship with which they are familiar in whole number addition and subtraction to fraction computation. The parts can be taken or added one at a time, or students may
UDL – NOTES ONF MULTIPLE MEANS OF ENGAGEMENT: Differentiate the difficulty of Problem 1 by adjusting the numbers. Students working above grade level may enjoy the challenge of adding three addends, for example 37100
+ 18100
+ 65100
. Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with like denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

group them as 38
before computing. See possible solutions below.
Problem 3: Use the RDW process to solve a word problem subtracting a fraction from a whole.
1. Display the following problem:
Maria spent 47
of her money on a book and saved the
rest. What fraction of her money did Maria save?
2. In this problem, students subtract a fraction from a whole. Some may write 1 whole as 7
7 and then
subtract 47
. Alternatively, students may choose to
add up to 77
.
Problem 4: Use the RDW process to solve a word problem involving the subtraction of fractions.
1. Display the following problem:Mrs. Jones had 1 4
8 pizzas left after a party. After
giving some to Gary, she had 78
pizza left. What
fraction of a pizza did she give Gary?2. Students can use an adding up method, but will

likely choose one of the subtracting methods. One way is to rewrite the mixed number as 12
8 and
subtract. The other method subtracts from the whole and adds back the fractional part as practiced in Block 17.
Problem SetDistribute Problem Set 4.19. Students should do their personal best to complete the problem set in groups, with partners, or individually. For some classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which problems they work on first. Some problems do not specify a method for solving. Students solve these problems using the RDW approach used for Application Problem.
REFLECTION TEACHER NOTES1. Invite students to review their solutions for
the Problem Set. They should check their work by comparing answers with a partner before going over answers as a class.
2. Guide students in a conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the block. You may choose to use any combination of the questions below to lead the discussion.
What strategies did you use to solve the problems in the Problem Set? Did you use the same strategy each time?
Which problem(s) were the most difficult? How were they difficult? What strategies did you use to persevere?
Which problem(s) were the least difficult? Why?
Was it easier to solve Problems 5 and 6 on your own after having completed Problems 1–4 together as a group? Why or why not? Did you use the same strategies that you used in solving Problems 1–4?
UDL - NOTES ON MULTIPLE MEANS OF ACTION AND EXPRESSION: To prepare students working below grade level and others to meaningfully participate in today’s work and closing debrief, quickly review strategies from which students may choose: Take apart and
redistribute (using a number bond).
Counting up to subtract. Thinking part–part–
whole (using a tape diagram).
