What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Sally’s lessons follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!  

In addition to the deliberate scaffolding, these adding & subtracting fractions with unlike denominators word problems worksheets include an instructional guide jam-packed with teaching hacks and best practices.  There is also a “Misconceptions” section that allows you to be one step ahead of mistakes students are most likely to make.

These word problem worksheets are common core aligned to 5th grade standard 5.NF.2 (adding & subtracting fractions with unlike denominators word problems).
