Instructional Ideas
- Once they have completed work on these examples, have learners store this away as a reference sheet
- If you want learners to solve these on their own, simply cover the answers when copying
Classroom Considerations
- Although these rules do work, there isn't any explanation as to why they work, a necessary component of the Common Core
Pros
- Simple instructions and examples that cover a wide variety of fraction equations
- Room for learners to show the steps outlined in the directions
Cons
- One of the answers is undefined, since it includes division by 0. This concept is not covered in the reference material
- Specific course is briefly referenced on both pages
