For your "Create" assignment, you will be writing your own real-life subtraction story problem. This time, you must base your problem on something that has actually happened to you! While the filming will take place in school during class time, there are a few things to consider at home before getting started.
*Remember: The majority of this assignment will be created during class time. I will be available to answer questions and to push your thinking to its greatest potential!
At Home:
Prepare your "script" for the video. Think about the following:

At Home:
Prepare your "script" for the video. Think about the following:
- What steps will you have to teach your audience? (Pretend you are talking to a younger sibling who does not have a knowledge of fractions)
- Are there any props or models that can help demonstrate the mathematical process of subtracting mixed numbers?
- What kind of vocabulary will you have to include? (common denominator, simplify, etc.)
- What was most helpful for you when you first learned this concept? How does having a knowledge of subtracting mixed numbers help your daily life?
In Class:
- Rehearse with assigned math partner. Take turns critiquing each other during rehearsal
- Film real-life connection video
