You will share your findings to the class (using any material - written and electronic - to enhance your presentation according the topic you'll recieve as a group). Follow the links in the process section to review the Addition of Fractions.

The links provided in that section will give an overview of the content base of your group study.

These resources will provide you with examples for completing the activity.

You are expected to research the concept and write a brief description that will enhance your presentations at the end of the time alotted for content covering and preparation.

However, you will discuss in detail one of the most interesting aspects you discovered as a group.

The webquest is designed to demonstrate how the Addition of Fractions is used to solve real-life problems. This task should take no more than one hour for students to research content and create a Presentation. However, it will require another session for students to present their findings.
