Real situations drive Part A: a water bottle that goes from 7/10 full down to 4/10 after 3/10 is sipped, Leo walking 2 1/6 miles to school and 1 4/6 back, Maya's 5/8 ribbon after 2/8 becomes a bow, and a 3 2/4-cup recipe with 1 3/4 cups already poured. Each scenario calls for careful addition or subtraction with like denominators.
Part B switches to direct computation with five problems including 3/8 + 5/8, 2 5/12 + 1 4/12, 4 3/5 - 2 1/5, and the three-fraction sum 2/6 + 3/6 + 1/6. Connecting word problems to bare equations sharpens the fluency fourth graders need before unlike denominators arrive.
