Introduction: Student’s will be able to use bar models (fraction bars) and decomposition to add mixed numbers with regrouping. Students will also see the use of improper fractions when adding mixed numbers. (5NS 2.3) Materials: Fraction bars Key Concepts: Equivalent forms of one, decomposition, equivalent fractions, least common multiple/denominator, regrouping “We have learned what happens when we add fractions and we have a sum greater than one whole. Today we will examine what to do when we add a mixed number and our fractional part is greater than one whole. Let’s look at an example!”

Ask:
• Turn to your partner and tell them what you notice about my fractional parts? (Greater than one, more eights than one whole, etc.) Have students share out their observations.
• Class, how many eighths do I have in all? Let’s count them together. (Have students chorally count out the nine eighths pieces)
• What do we call a number like nine eighths? (Improper Fraction) • Is there a way for me to regroup and rewrite nine eighths? (As a mixed number)
• How would I regroup and rewrite nine eighths as a mixed number? (811 )
Use fraction bars to build and model the two mixed numbers. Collect like pieces and
show that .811

Ask:
• What happened to the sum of the fractional part of our number? (It was an improper fraction, it was greater than one whole)
• What did we need to do to our fractional part? (Decompose, break into one whole and a fractional unit, simplify)

Do: Have students present out on the overhead/ board their answers. Look for different ways that students approached the problem. Debrief: Ask students to discuss what they discovered today when building the sum of mixed numbers and when using decomposition. Ask what strategies they used today when adding mixed numbers.
