5-20-2002 1. -Page 50 #3.......OBJECTIVE:[#To develop strategies for adding and subtracting fractions #To understand when addition or subtraction is the appropriate operation #To develop ways of modeling sums and differences #To continue to develop ways to estimate the results of adding and subtracting fractions #To reinforce the understanding of the equivalence of fractions #To employ pictorial models(for example showing that ½ of ½ is ¼ by drawing an area model) #To search for and to generalize patterns #To use estimation to help make decisions.] ACTIVITIES: Walk through/review remainder of problem 4.2 with map model and/or overhead to be copied. NOTES: HOMEWORK: P84 Question Bank 4: Suppose that the Pizza Pirate ate 1/3 of a pizza the first night and 1/4 of what remained every night after that. How many nights would it take until the pizza was half gone?

ACTIVITIES: Warm-Up on Equivalent fractions with write-outs for score. Introduce page 46, problem 4.3 'Pirating Pizza.' Complete in class and model the follow-up 1a from page 47. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Page 47, problem 4.3 follow-up 1b.
5-22-2002 1. -HW Page 47 Problem 4.3 Follow-Up.. 2. =WarmUp..........OBJECTIVE: See 5-20 above. ACTIVITIES:[Distribute Progress Report #15] Page 48, problem 4.4 'Designing Algorithms' Students will come up with their own ALGORITHM or series of steps to solve fraction additional nd subtraction. Use models to start the thinking process. Especially emphasize that one cannot add or subtract dissimilar items. NOTES: HOMEWORK: P50 problems 5-9
