Learners use a bakery-themed word problem with fraction cookie order forms, circle templates, fraction circles, and models to represent addition as joining parts and separation as removing parts. Activities guide students to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions, write equations from visual representations, and solve order-confirmation tasks. Informal observation and an exit-ticket-style assessment check correct identification of improper fractions and mixed numbers, plus accurate confirmation forms.","Fraction Cookies Bakery\nNC Mathematics Standard:\nNumber & Operations - Fractions\nNC.4.NF.3 Understand and justify decompositions of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.\nUnderstand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.\nDecompose a fraction into a sum of unit fractions and a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way using area models, length models, and equations.\nAdd and subtract fractions, including mixed numbers with like denominators, by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.\nSolve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions, including mixed numbers by writing equations from a visual representation of the problem.\nAdditional/Supporting Standards:\nNC.4.NF.1 Explain why a fraction is equivalent to another fraction by using area and length fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size.\nStandards for Mathematical Practice:\nMake sense of problems and persevere in solving them.\nReason abstractly and quantitatively.\n7.  Look for and make use of structure.\nStudent Outcomes:\nI can determine the relationship between a mixed number and an improper fraction.\nI can add fractions and mixed numbers.\nMath Language:\nequivalent fractions\nnumerator\ndenominator\nimproper fraction\nmixed number\nMaterials:\nBook:  The Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Fractions by Jerry Pallotta\n1 fraction cookies bakery order form per student\n1 fraction cookie bakery order confirmation form per student\ncolored pencils, crayons, or markers\ncircle templates cut from construction paper\nfraction circles\nLaunch:\nIntroduction of Task (5-10 minutes)\nEngage students by first reading, The Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Fractions Book by Jerry Pallotta.  As you read, focus on the addition that is modeled in the book.\nNext, ask if students have ever been to a bakery before. Ask what types of items are sold at a bakery. This helps get students thinking about sweets and what they can find at a bakery.\nPresent the Problem:  “You own a bakery that specializes in fraction cookies. Customers place orders from all over the country for your unique cookies. You recently received the orders shown on your student sheet. Before making the cookies to fill the order, you need to confirm the total amount of toppings you will be using for each order. Using the circle templates provided, show how you would create each cookie order with the correct fractional amounts of toppings.”\nYou may want to go over how to use the templates provided to help students read and understand the task.  Do not model how to solve the task or create the cookies – allow students to figure this out.\nExplore:\nCreating Cookies (20-45 minutes)\nStudents will explore creating cookie orders by using the cookie templates provided to complete the order form. Students will work as partners to complete the task. As students are working, make notes to see what strategies and vocabulary students are using as they solve the task. Determine which students should share strategies during the discussion.\nAsk:\nHow many total cookies will this order require?  How do you know?\nCould you create the order using fewer cookies?\nWhich toppings could you combine to fill this cookie?\nWhich topping occurs the most in this order?\nDiscuss:\nDiscussion (15-20 minutes)\nAfter students have completed the cookie order form, gather as a class and discuss the task and information gathered during the task.\nPossible discussion questions:\nHow did you combine toppings?\nHow did the circle templates help you with creating the order confirmation?\nHow is this student’s strategy similar or different from your own?\nWhat made this task difficult for you?\nHow do you know you have recorded the order correctly?\nHow many sections do you need to cover a ","cbCaivkTPXGH0nBW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivkTPXGH0nBW","docx",527324,11,"English","en",105,"# Launch\n## Introduction of Task\n# Explore\n## Creating Cookies\n# Discussion\n## Strategy and Vocabulary Sharing\n# Evaluation of Student Understanding\n## Informal Evaluation\n## Formal Evaluation/Exit Ticket\n# Meeting the Needs of the Range of Learners\n## Interventions\n## Extensions\n# Possible Misconceptions/Suggestions","[{\"question\":\"How does the lesson help students understand decompositions of fractions?\",\"answer\":\"Students create cookie orders using circle templates and fraction models, showing fractions as sums of unit fractions or fractions with the same denominator using area/length models and equations.\"},{\"question\":\"What strategies do students use to add and subtract fractions in this task?\",\"answer\":\"Students add and subtract fractions, including mixed numbers with like denominators, by replacing mixed numbers with equivalent fractions and using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students determine mixed numbers and improper fractions for the order confirmation?\",\"answer\":\"Students use the fraction models and the whole-cookie structure to record the correct mixed number, then identify the corresponding improper fraction as part of confirming topping quantities.\"}]","Fraction Cookies Bakery -
