Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Use fraction strips: build the first fraction, then remove the second after trading both for same-size pieces. For mixed numbers, trade one whole for its fraction pieces when you need more.

Practice renaming wholes: 1 = 4/4 = 6/6 = 8/8.

3/4 − 1/2 with strips.
Answer: 3/4 − 2/4 = 1/4.
Rename 1 as eighths.
Answer: 8/8.
1 − 1/3
Answer: 2/3.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)
