Fraction Architects

This 5th-grade math sequence guides students from the conceptual 'why' of common denominators through inquiry-based modeling to procedural fluency in adding and subtracting fractions. Students will explore equivalent fractions, Least Common Multiples (LCM), and simplification techniques to master fractions with unlike denominators.
