Tape Diagrams

ND State Standard
4.NO.NF.6 Solve authentic word problems by adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators (proper and improper fractions limited to denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100).

In a progression, students would learn how to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers to apply the understanding to word problems.

Let’s discover how we can use tape diagrams to set up our modeling by visiting Math Playground’s Thinking Blocks 

• Click "Thinking Blocks Fractions" which is "Bella's Barnyard Band"

  • See photo below for confirmation of which tile you should click.

• Click the Orange arrow to begin 

• Click “find a part” tile and complete 2 models, take a screenshot after each completed model.

• Restart and click "find the total" tile and complete 2 models, take a screenshot after each completed model.

•  Restart and click "find the other part" tile and complete 2 models, take a screenshot after each completed model.

• Restart and click "same denominators" tile and complete 2 models, take a screenshot after each completed model.

Include screenshots of your 8 completed models  as part of your submission of evidence.
