  2. Introduction Ever wonder how Santa Clause can feed all those reindeer? He shares his cookies, of course! But sometimes Santa gets a little greedy with his cookies and there is not enough for his reindeer. Let’s see how many cookies Santa’s reindeer will get on your street. Santa visits 5 houses on a street, including yours. Santa eats a different number of cookies at each house, leaving his reindeer to divide the remaining cookies amongst them.

  3. Task • You will learn how to add fractions by finding a common denominator. • You will discover how many cookies Santa’s reindeer eat. IntroductionTaskProcessConclusionResourcesGLCE’s

  4. Process • Visit http://maps.google.com/ and locate your house. Choose the five houses Santa will visit on your block. • Every house leaves 9 cookies for Santa and his 8 reindeer. • At the first house, Santa gave each reindeer one cookie and kept one for himself. • At the second house, each reindeer ate ¾ of a cookie, while Santa kept 3 cookies for himself. • At the third house, each reindeer ate ½ of a cookie and Santa kept 5 cookies for himself. • At the fourth house, each reindeer ate ¼ of a cookie and Santa kept 7 cookies for himself. • At the fifth house, each reindeer ate 1/8 of a cookie and Santa kept 8 cookies for himself.

  5. Process • On a piece of paper, write down the fractions of cookies eaten by the reindeers. • In order to add the fractions, you must find a common denominator. What is the smallest number all of your denominators could become when multiplying? *Hint: 3, 5, 15=15 • When you have found your common denominator, multiply the numerator by the same number as your denominator. • Add up all numerators to get your final numerator. Denominator remains the same. • Change your improper fraction into a mixed number to discover how many cookies each reindeer ate on your street. • Be sure to print out the map of your street to show which houses Santa will visit. Bonus: How many cookies did Santa eat on your street? IntroductionTaskProcessConclusionResourcesGLCE’s

  6. Conclusion In this webquest, you will learn how to add fractions will different denominators. It will take you step by step to find a common denominator. Making a personal connection to each person while they learn to add fractions. IntroductionTaskProcessConclusionResourcesGLCE’s

  8. GLCE’s • N.ME.03.16 Understand that fractions may represent a portion of a whole unit that has been partitioned into parts of equal area or length; use the terms “numerator” and “denominator.” • N.ME.03.19 Understand that any fraction can be written as a sum of unit fractions, e.g., 3/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 . • N.MR.03.20 Recognize that addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators can be modeled by joining or taking away segments on the number line. • N.MR.03.15 Given problems that use any one of the four operations with appropriate numbers, represent with objects, words (including “product” and “quotient”), and mathematical statements; solve.
