This slideshow is a tool to use when teaching the decomposition of fractions. It is an introductory fractions lesson that makes a great precursor to adding fractions with like denominators. The lesson was created to go with EDM4 Lesson 5-1. The slideshow can be used with white boards/slates to engage students in the mini lesson. There is no script here; this slideshow is a set of visuals to increase engagement and real-life application of basic fractions.
