Gr 5 C5 Lesson Adding with Area Models (w/ additional resources)
This lesson uses the area model to support students' work with adding fractions with unlike denominators. This is remixable if you add ideas to support the range of learners.
Since this is an NCDPI resources, I would add additional resources to include technology where students can create the area models in online resources. The following are some resources that can be used.
