Follow-Up
Have partners compare answers and
resolve differences.
NOTE Working with elapsed time can
provide students with more practice using
a clock face to add and subtract fractions.
Remind students that elapsed time is the time
that passes between a given starting and
ending time. Give them various problems that
involve finding elapsed time and then adding
or subtracting the amounts. Ask students to
give the elapsed time in minutes and then in
fractions of an hour. They can then use the
clock face to add or subtract.

Make sure students understand that they may use the clock model
to help them answer the problems on the journal page. At times,
students might want to “think minutes,” as in the example for
Part 3. At other times, students might want to look at the clock
face divided into twelfths. Using a demonstration clock, work
several of the problems in Part 2 with the class before students
work in partnerships. Assign the remainder of the journal page.

NOTE A clock face is a convenient model for fraction operations involving
halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, twelfths, and even thirtieths and sixtieths. The
link between fractions and their equivalents in minutes allows students to add and
subtract fractions with unlike denominators without rewriting the fractions with a
common denominator.

I can look for a column that has both 9 and 27. Then I can find
the rows for those numbers. The 1 row has 9 for the numerator,
and the 3 row has 27 for the denominator. I can then list the
other fractions made by the numbers in the 1 row that correspond to
the numbers in the 3 row.
Math Journal 1, p. 195
WHOLE-CLASS
ACTIVITY
to Explore Equivalent Fractions
(Math Journal 1, p. 195; Math Masters, p. 177)
Any two rows of a multiplication table can be used to form
equivalent fractions. Display the Multiplication Table Poster on
the board. Ask partners to cut the strips from Math Masters,
page 177 and place them in the middle of their workspace.
Each student takes one strip. Ask students to make true
statements about the numbers on their strip. The numbers are
multiples of the first number on the strip; the numbers have a
common factor. Tell them that a strip can be named by its
smallest number, for example, the “4 strip.”
One partner is “numerators” and the other is “denominators.”
Partners then match their strips, laying the numerator strip
above the denominator strip. Tell students that the columns
form fractions.
For Problem 1, on journal page 195, ask students to write
down the strip names and then list all of the fractions formed
by the matches.
Partners then take two different strips and repeat this process
for Problems 2 and 3. Each strip should be used only once.
Circulate and assist.
Ask students what they notice about their lists of fractions.
The numerators and denominators are multiples of the numbers
in the first column; the fractions are equivalent.

Algebraic Thinking Introduce the next activity by discussing the
following points:
●
It is easy to add or subtract fractions if they have the same
denominator, usually called a common denominator. To
support English language learners, discuss the
meaning of common in this mathematical context.
●
One way to add or subtract fractions with different
denominators, usually called unlike denominators, is to
rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.
●
One way to find common denominators is to use the
multiplication rule (or the division rule) for finding equivalent
fractions. Ask volunteers to express the rules with variables.

NOTE Some students may realize that _16 is less than _13 and conclude that the
answer will be less than 1.
Then work through the examples to illustrate the use of the
multiplication rule to find common denominators. Pose one or two
similar problems as needed.

Using Data; Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

In addition to using the multiplication rule to find equivalent
fractions, students can also refer to the Table of Equivalent
Fractions, Decimals, and Percents on page 401 of the Student
Reference Book.
Assign journal pages 196 and 197. Remind students of the
importance of using benchmarks to estimate the solution and then
assess the reasonableness of their answers. Students may choose
to solve Problems 7 and 8 by finding a common denominator.
NOTE In Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8, on journal pages 196 and 197, the
common denominator is the same as one of the original denominators. In
Problems 3 and 4, the common denominator is different from both of the
original denominators.
