  2. Student Learning Goal Chart Lesson Reflection

  3. Pre-Algebra Learning GoalStudent will understand rational and real numbers.

  4. Students will understand BLAH BLAH BLAH by being able to do the following: • Learn to write rational numbers in equivalent forms (3.1) • Learn to add and subtract decimals and rational numbers with like denominators (3.2) • Learn to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (3.5)

  5. Today’s Learning Goal Assignment Learn to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.

  6. Vocabulary least common denominator (LCD)

  7. To solve this problem, add and subtract rational numbers with unlike denominators. First find a common denominator using one of the following methods: Method 1 Find a common denominator by multiplying one denominator by the other denominator. Method 2 Find the least common denominator (LCD); the least common multiple of the denominators.
