I. Objectives
What is the main focus of this lesson?
Students will be able to create word problems for subtracting fractions or adding fractions.
My unit is a special intro to fractions to meet my students where they are at to introduce them to a solid
foundation of understanding of fractions so that they can meet 4th grade standards with fractions. In the
past, my students have struggled with word problems and need more motivational stamina for problem
solving.
What are your objectives for this lesson? (As many as needed.) Indicate connections to
applicable national or state standards. If an objective applies to only certain students write the
name(s) of the student(s) to whom it applies.

Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the
same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and
equations to represent the problem.
We are going to create our own word problem projects. I will give you a number
sentence in a little bit, and you are going to write a story problem on your own. Your
previously did something similar in groups for division. You will be doing this yourself
with fractions with either addition or subtraction.
