In this lesson, my 8th grade Pre-Algebra students were challenged to solve multi-step word problems with mixed numbers. The goal of this lesson was for students to be able to use virtual tools to solve problems within a word problem that dealt with fractions. The students needed to be able to solve 4 out of 5 questions correctly and independently by the end of the assignment. The students were given word problems that would be familiar (concert tickets, etc.) and would use fraction circles (online or physical) and a fraction calculator. The goal was not to answer the fraction questions correctly, but to figure out how to solve the problem. At the end of the lesson, students were assessed with a written assessment.
