Steps

  2. Then, they consider adding and subtracting fractions.
  3. They consider multiplying and dividing fractions.
  4. Finally, students will make an overall decision. Depending on what you'd like to do, students can expand their thinking into an advertisement, story, song, persuasive essay, or other product.
