Add a fraction less than 1 to a whole number using a strip diagram. Answer in mixed units: 2 hours + 5 minutes is...?

Add a fraction less than 1 to a whole number using a strip diagram. Answer in mixed units: 2 ones + 5 eighths is...?

Display 2 + 1/2. Draw a strip diagram to show 2 ones. To know how large to draw 1/2, let's partition each whole number into 2 halves. (Demonstrate partitioning the 2 ones with dotted lines.) Partition the ones, and extend your model to add 1/2. Say a number sentence that adds the whole number to the fraction.

Repeat the process with 3 + 2/3 = 3 2/3.

Subtract a fraction less than 1 from a whole number using a strip diagram. Display 3 - 1/4. Draw a strip diagram to represent 3, partitioned as 3 ones. Watch as I subtract 1/4. (Partition a one into 4 parts. Cross off 1/4.) Trace along the strip diagram with a finger to count the remaining parts. What is remaining?

Subtract 3 - 2/3. Draw a strip diagram with your partner. Discuss your drawing with your partner.

Given three related numbers, form fact family facts. Write 4, 4/5, and 1/5. These numbers are related. Draw a number bond to show the whole and the parts. Write two addition facts and two subtraction facts that use 4, 4/5, and 1/5. Make a choice as to whether to write your sums and differences to the right or to the left of the equal sign.
