Stop 9: Entrance to the Children's Garden
"Time"
Question:
Grade Level: 5th
Look at the last word "TIME" that is spelled into the sidewalk. Now closely look at the letters "T" and "E". Some of the stones are missing. If you were to make a fraction for the number of missing stones over the total number of stones there originally was what would your fraction be for each letter? What would the fraction be for the number of missing stones out of the total number of stones that there originally was for both letters combined? How do you know?
Standard:
5.NOF.1Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
Directions to Stop 10:
Walk about 3 big steps and then look down.
