    Fractions

    A WebQuest for 5​th​ Grade Math


    Designed by
    Brianna Tims

    Introduction
    Fractions are mathematical concepts that are applicable to life in many ways.​ Throughout
    your whole life, you have been dealing with fractions, even though you may not know that! In
    this webquest you are going to learn more about adding fractions!

    The Task
    We are going to learn about adding fractions using a number of resources.
    Your journey through the WebQuest will enable you to answer the following questions:
    · ​Which part of the fraction is the numerator and which part of the fraction is the
    denominator?
    · ​How do you add two fractions with the same denominator and different numerators?
    · ​How are we going to find the least common denominator of a given set of fractions?
    · ​How do we add two fractions with different denominators?

    Final Project: ​You will look at a recipe to make play dough, but the recipe will be for one
    person. You are going to make a personal recipe card which will include the recipe you need
    in order to make enough play dough for you and your family.

    The Process

    1) Use the following websites to learn how to answer the questions that are written in the
    task above (these are also on the worksheet).
    http://www.mathsisfun.com/fractions_addition.html
    http://www.helpwithfractions.com/adding-fractions.html

    2) Visit http://www.mathplayground.com/fractions_add.html and press the start button.


    There will be ten adding fractions practice problems.
    3) Go to
    http://www.ehow.com/how_5271462_make-nocook-play-dough-easily.html
    and write down the recipe for play dough on your worksheet.

    4) This recipe is for one person to have play dough, but you need enough for your entire
    family. Figure out how much of each ingredient is needed to make enough play dough for
    each member of your family. Do any and all work in the given space on your worksheet.

    5) Lastly, use your new family play dough recipe to create a personal recipe card for you
    and your family. Make sure your unique recipe card includes the necessary ingredients your
    family will need and don’t forget to include the steps too!

    Conclusion

    This webquest should have taught you how to add fractions! After completing this
    WebQuest, can you identify places that you use fractions outside of math class? When will
    you maybe need to know how to add fractions again in life?
