Subtracting Fractions with Mixed Numbers

In this lesson, students learn to subtract fractions with mixed numbers using rectangular fraction models. The teacher demonstrates subtracting one-half from one and one-fifth, converting the problem into an addition problem for easier calculation. Another example involves subtracting five-sixths from one and one-third, with a focus on simplifying fractions to find the final answer. The lesson concludes with encouragement to redo the exit ticket for full credit.
