• Adaptations
• Before modeling each problem in the activity, have students record an estimate.
• Add context to the addition problems by modifying the activity to include word problems.
• Add pages to the activity to include subtraction problems.
• Students can sue the Mark for Subtraction button on the Bottom toolbar to mark tiles with an X and represent "taking away."
• The following activities can be used to differentiate instruction or extend the activity. All activities are located here: Kidspiration Starter>Activities>Math.
• Students who need more practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators can complete the fraction boxes activity Fractions-Add and Subtract.kia.
• Using fraction boxes in the Step Workspace can help students develop a process and a meaningful sequence of steps when adding fractions with like denominators. To complete similar problems in the step workspace, see Unlike Denominators-Adding.kia.
• Fraction tiles can also help students visualize, understand and find common denominators. See the activity Finding Common Denominators.kia.
