How to Add and Subtract Measurements with Fractions - The operations of addition and subtraction are already perceived as a bit difficult thing to do by the students rather than adding or subtracting simple whole numbers. Those measurements that are in fractional form can be a bit difficult to add or subtract, but only during the initial few attempts. Once you start practicing them and develop a habit of solving sums and differences like these, they can become really easy for you.For example, 1/2 meters can be simply added to or subtracted by 4/2 meters, and we can obtain an answer of 5/2 in case of addition and 3/2 in case of subtraction. After we obtain the answer to it, we can simply write it in fractional form and place its unit after the fractional value as we do it in whole number form. The same method is applied in case of all physical quantities and their different units, as well.Basic LessonIntroduces addition and subtraction between various units of English measurements.View worksheetIntermediate LessonThis lesson demonstrates long addition and long subtraction between various units of English measurements.View worksheetIndependent Practice 1Students practice with 20 Adding & Subtracting Measurements problems.

The same for the whole class, but for the workshop, you can assign different work based on students’ abilities, learning styles, or interests.Develop accountability: The workshop model inherently demands student participation and engagement. Students are responsible for driving the learning and activities forward, whether they’re working individually or in small groups.Lucy Calkins’ Workshop Model Best PracticesMini-lesson–workshop–debrief is the basic structure of the workshop model, but in practice, these components can be more nuanced, broken down, or added to. For example, Lucy Calkins, a leading voice in K–8 reading pedagogy, has developed a popular five-part model for conducting a one-hour reading or writing workshop:Mini-lesson: The mini-lesson should aim to do four things: (1) connect your students with you, one another, and the content, (2) teach the main point of the lesson, (3) get students to actively participate in a guided practice of the new concept, and (4) link the guided practice to the work students are about to do. Calkins recommends pairing kids up with a long-term partner and having partners sit together during the mini-lesson.Independent work: After the mini-lesson, students work either independently or in small groups (or a combination of both) to practice the skills you just discussed.Conferring and small groups: While students work, the teacher moves throughout the room observing students’ work and pausing to check in with individuals and small groups. Depending on students’ needs, these small conferences might involve offering praise or encouragement, reinforcing points from the mini-lesson, or asking questions to help students clarify their

On Duolingo every day:Note: I’ve written out my system below, but I’m not rigid about it. If I find myself getting bored or frustrated in one area of Duolingo, I switch up what I’m doing. I try to use the gamification and features of Duolingo to keep myself engaged and having fun.Step 1: Morning – Earn 1,000 XP on DuolingoAs I shared earlier, I do 1 Duolingo lesson before jumping in the shower to get the XP Boost. I usually do a lesson from the Practice Hub, or pick an easy review [10 XP] from a completed skill.I don’t want to get “sucked into” the app in the morning, so I go for a review. I’ve found if I do a new lesson with new material – I’ll take another 30 minutes to an hour to get ready in the AM, lol.I choose a quick and easy lesson to earn my “Early Bird Award”! This also helps me preserve my Duolingo Streak!Step 2: Evening – XP Boost & ReviewI study a new language in the evening, usually in the bathtub, lol. The key to earning XP fast on Duolingo is to have fun!To get ~in the zone~ I’ll do a couple of new lessons, saying the words and sounds as I go. [Repeating after the app is key for retaining new words, I’ve found.]After a few lessons, I’ll then activate my “Early Bird” XP Boost, so that all lessons are now worth 2X.I’ll then review the past ~3-4 skills, selecting “Hard Practice” earning 40 XP points per each lesson. Depending on the number of skills you have completed, you can easily earn 100 to 200 XP in 15 minutes.But wait – there’s more! Doing this, I keep in mind that my goal is to learn a new language on the app – not just get XP. Earning XP and being super competitive helps me reach my goal – but the XP isn’t the goal here, lol.This screenshot isn’t STELLAR, lol. Here, I’m trying to show that I alternate between old lessons and new ones.So, to learn new words, I alternate a new lesson with a review lesson, going like this:Early Bird Reward ActivatedHard Practice Review – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Hard Practice Review – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Hard Practice Review – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Hard Practice Review – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]I usually end up doing around 7-10 lessons here, earning 180 XP – 300 XP.Step 3: Evening – Earn a New XP BoostWhen doing the New Lessons [20 XP] above, I do my best to almost finish *one* Skill to lesson 5 out of 6.Almost. Finish.^^ This is key to earning XP fast on Duolingo!Let me explain:I do NOT finish a level [hitting lesson 6 out of 6] if I still have time left on my XP Boost. The reason for this is that the App will reward me with *another* XP Boost when I finish a level. But, for whatever reason,

You won’t earn this XP boost if you finish a level – while using an XP Boost.Put another way, I try not to be using an XP boost when I finish a level [lesson 6 out of 6] on a Skill.Put another way, I try not to be using an XP boost when I finish a level [lesson 6 out of 6] on a Skill.Ideally, by the time my first XP Boost [the Early Bird XP] runs out, I can quickly earn another by finishing a level – completing lesson 6 of 6.When I’m lesson 5/6, I don’t finish that level if I am *currently* using an XP Boost. When I “test out” of a level, I do so to earn ANOTHER XP boost.Step 4: Evening – Take a Break at 500 XPUsually at this point, I’m around 500 XP for the day, so I take a break. It’s important to let your brain rest and space out practice time.If I’m not quite to 500 XP on Duolingo, but I don’t want to use a Timed Boost, then I’ll head over to “The League” section and do a few timed trials until I get there. Or I’ll finish reviewing the Skills [doing all the “Hard Practice” options] or do a few lessons in the Practice Hub.Then my brain needs a break! Earning XP fast on Duolingo does require breaks, friend!Step 5: Evening – Alternate Regular Lessons and Practice HubWhen I open Duolingo back up, I’ll basically repeat Step 2 – but I’ll alternate regular lessons with lessons from the Practice Hub.I make sure to activate an “XP Boost” before doing this. Usually the one earned in Step 3.XP Boost ActivatedPractice Hub – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Practice Hub – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Practice Hub – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Practice Hub – [40 XP]New Lesson – [20 XP]Usually, there are a limited number of lessons waiting for me in the Practice Hub, so sometimes I can do 4 or 5, and sometimes 1 or 2.Practice Hub is super clutch for earning XP fast on Duolingo.With this screenshot, i’m trying to show that I switch back and forth between learning new content + reviewing!Step 6: Evening – Finish a Skill or Earn XP Fast through XP BonusOk, so now we’re towards the end. This final step is really excellent for earning XP on Duolingo fast. Usually at this point, I have two options:Finish an entire skill [Achieve “Legendary” Status!]Timed XP ChallengesOption 1: Finish an Entire Skill on Duolingo to Earn XP FastIf there’s an entire Skill I can finish, I only start it if i have an XP Boost to use. Ideally, from Step 7, I’ll be pretty close to earning my third XP Boost of the day. I’ll get my XP Boost, then [if available] I’ll arn the 6 crowns on the final level.Why do I only finish a Skill with an XP boost?Well, each of those crowns is worth 40 – 45 XP – and
