Original Prompt

create a lesson on adding fractions for an intervention group at a fifth grade level

This resource focuses on teaching students how to add fractions with both like and unlike denominators. The learning goal is to enable students to confidently add fractions by mastering the steps involved. The document is structured into sections that cover the addition of fractions with like denominators, where students simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. It also includes a section on adding fractions with unlike denominators, which involves finding a common denominator. Clear visual examples, guided practice problems, and a mini-lesson on finding common denominators are provided to support students’ understanding. The resource concludes with mixed practice problems and an exit ticket to assess confidence and understanding.
