NOW, LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER  2 4/5 + 1 ½

GO CART TASK  You will have about 10 minutes for private think time. I want you to work through this independently. What is the problem asking you to do? How do you know? Show me your evidence!  Then, you will have about 10 minutes for small group time- talk to your partner about your solution path. Is it different from theirs? If so, how? If it is the same, you need to be able to tell me how!  Whole group- We’ll spend about 10 minutes discussing this task and what different way we can get the same answer.

EXIT TICKET  There are only 2 problems on your exit ticket, so this should not take you longer than 6 minutes!  You may use any strategy you want. Just make sure it is the write answer.  If you get finished before the 6 minutes, check your work.

EXIT TICKET  3 ½ + 1 1/3 =  4 5/ /4 =
