CCSS.Math.5.NF.1
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. -
CCSS.Math.5.NF.2
Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
Fraction Tiles: Part One
Welcome to Part One of our Fraction Tiles tutorial series! In this tutorial, 5th grade students will learn how to set up a block-based coding project to gain mastery with CCSS Math.5.NF.1 and Math.5.NF.2.
In this part, students will create two buttons and a set of fraction tiles. One button will allow users to choose from fraction options, while the other button will add the chosen fraction to the console as a fraction tile. Students can then arrange these fraction tiles on the console window to add or compare them with others having the same or different denominators.
Get ready to dive into the world of fractions and coding as we guide you step-by-step through this exciting project!
Stay tuned for Part Two where we will continue building on what you've learned in this part and add more functionality to your Fraction Tiles project.
Fraction Tiles Part Two: Labeling and Functionality
Welcome to Part Two of our Fraction Tiles tutorial series! In this segment, students will enhance their block-coding project by labeling the fraction tiles and buttons created in Part One. Additionally, students will add functionality to call each fraction tile based on the user's choice, allowing for interactive manipulation and comparison of fractions.
Students will have the creative freedom to personalize their program by incorporating additional design elements or functionalities to further deepen their understanding of fractions and coding concepts.
Continue building your skills and mastering CCSS Math.5.NF.1 and Math.5.NF.2 as we delve deeper into the world of Fraction Tiles with coding!
