[L1] A Fraction of the Rain
Practice
Lesson 1 to practice estimating fraction sums and differences by exploring rainfall fractions from different cities and use estimation to compare rainfall amounts. CC Standards: 5.NF.A.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. 5.NF.A.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. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. Practice Lesson 1 Context: Rainfall fractions from different cities in the U.S.A. Graphs: Dot plot, Bar chart Number of questions: 15 Difficulty level: Easy Estimated time: 15 mins
Some cities receive very little rainfall, while others experience heavy rain for many days. Let's explore rainfall fractions from different cities, use estimation to compare rainfall amounts, and discover weather patterns. Click Next to get started!
