Welcome to the Open Scholarship Knowledge Base! When you find that there is a gap in this knowledge base or have a good idea for a new resource to add, you can add your own by following this guide. This resource includes a how-to video showing the steps needed. It also includes written instructions on adding the resource, describing it, aligning it with the OSKB metadata, and making it discoverable.
This resource from the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives shows students how to rename fractions to have a common denominator and then add them. It is appealing because it visually engages the students by showing them what happens to a unit (a rectangle is used here) as the denominator increases or decreases. As the denominator increases or decreases, the partitions are shown accordingly, and the effect on the numerator is shown as well. This is a convenient, visual way to show students how to manipulate fractions for adding.
Adult Learners will review the previous lesson, measuring with a thermometer, to continue their application in horizontal number lines. Learners will use the number line to increase their understanding of integer values as well as apply their understanding to solving real world problems.
Adding Interactivity to an Online Lesson
In this unit I aim to help students see this connection, exploring the ways elite white Americans justified the enslavement of Africans and how some of these same ideas continue to perpetuate systemic racism in our country today. Ultimately, the goal of this unit is to have students gain a more holistic understanding of the connection between slavery and the growth of racism and white supremacy in the United States and the continued legacies today, so that students can investigate ways to become change agents to combat systemic racism. This unit is not intended to cover all of the important concepts regarding slavery, but be used as a supplemental resource to address this missing piece from many traditional textbooks/curriculums.

Kahn Academy video - How to add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators.
This resource includes three tasks surrounding the Common Core Standard 5.NF.2 - Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers with Unlike Denominators Using an Open Number Line and Fraction Equivalence. The tasks involves looking at real Maryland snowstorm data and each task builds off the previous task.
