Goal of the lesson
The goal of this WebQuest was for you to review how to add fractions with like denominators and begin working towards mastery of adding fractions with unlike denominator's hope you had some fun while you were completing the process. Here are some other web sites you could try to continue working on at home or at the city library to improve your skills. I am looking forward to the subtraction unit and believe that if you work as hard to master those skills you will have the skill necessary to pass the 5th grade benchmarks in these two areas.
