Math Message Follow-Up
WHOLE-CLASS
ACTIVITY
(Math Journal 2, p. 251)
Ask volunteers to share their strategies for renaming the sums in
Problems 3–6 to a whole or mixed number. Encourage students to
use their understanding of multiplication facts to recognize when
the simplest form will be a whole number. If the sum is an
improper fraction and the numerator is not a multiple of the
denominator, the simplest form will be a mixed number. If the
numerator is a multiple of the denominator, the simplest form will
be a whole number. Ask volunteers to explain how to recognize an
improper fraction. If the numerator is greater than or equal to the
denominator, the fraction is an improper fraction. To support
English language learners, write and label examples of improper
fractions on the board or Class Data Pad.
Survey students for what methods they used to find the common
denominators for Problems 7–9. Expect a mixture of the methods
discussed in Lesson 8-1. Summarize the methods on the board or
Class Data Pad for student reference throughout the lesson.

To add mixed numbers in which the fractions do not have the same denominator,
you must first rename one or both fractions so that both fractions have a
common denominator.
