This resource is a comprehensive lesson plan designed to teach students how to add and subtract fractions using visual models. It consists of eight lessons that progressively introduce the concepts of adding and subtracting fractions through relatable scenarios, such as sharing candy and managing flour in baking. Each lesson includes clear instructions, visual aids, and step-by-step processes for converting fractions to a common denominator and finding totals or differences. Students are encouraged to show their work, reinforcing their understanding through practice. The lessons also incorporate word problems to apply these skills in real-life contexts, helping to solidify the students' grasp of fractions.
