[L2] The Fraction Feast
Practice
Lesson 2 to practice estimating fraction sums and differences by exploring fractions that show the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in different foods. 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 2 Context: Amount of nutrients present in different food items. Graphs: Bar chart Number of questions: 15 Difficulty level: Medium Estimated time: 20 mins
Have you ever wondered what foods are made of? Different foods contain different amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Let's explore nutrient fractions in foods and use estimation to compare amounts and find totals and differences. Click Next to get started!
