Subtracting Mixed Numbers
🎯 Lesson Goal & Supports
• Convert mixed numbers to common denominators or improper fractions when needed.
• Borrow from the whole number when the fractional part is smaller than the fraction being subtracted.
• Simplify my answer and include units when applicable.
• Support: Use fraction strips or visual models; work with a partner; extra time.
• On-level: Use steps (common denominator → subtract → simplify) and show work.
• Extension: Subtract mixed numbers in multi-step real-world problems (see extension below).
• Find the remaining volume if you remove 2 3/4 in³ from a container of 7 1/2 in³ (convert and subtract).
