It was interesting to hear all the different ways students did these. Their were some good discussions about adding and multiplying fractions, which was a good reminder for some.
I then put the following equations with fractions on the board and had students work individually to solve them.
A couple of people asked for a refresher on how to solve equations with fractions so we worked through a question as a class, then they began working away. It was slow going for some, but everyone was moving along and getting a little better. Lots of students were those in their groups who were struggling.
Once they were done, students continued the handout from Friday. It was a good day of individual work.
Thank you for sharing this post. I really needed it on my tutorial center because most of my students are struggling with this concept.
