answers if any. Ask them how and where they got their answer
on each step.
(Ask: How did you solve the problem? Where did you get
your answer? How do you know that you need to add? )
4. Abstraction (10 minutes)
What are the steps in solving word problems involving
addition of fractions?
In solving problems, we follow these steps (4-Step Plan):
