Beginning with a song and dance, I will introduce/review the concept of addition and subtraction of fractions. Terminology such as: addend, sum, numerator, denominator, difference, etc. will all be discussed. The students will then sort their Hershey's chocolate squares into fractions. I will read an excerpt of "The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Fractions Book" by Jerry Pallotta, before we create addition and subtraction fraction problems to solve using their Hershey's bar. (PDF printout provided before class). This is a great introduction into addition and subtraction of fractions, or simply a good review for anyone who needs it.
