Note that on the Problem Set, #8b is a two-step word problem, which is why it is near the end of the Problem Set. This provides a nice preview for the work students will do in Lesson 12.
If you need to adapt or shorten this lesson for remote learning, we suggest prioritizing Anchor Tasks 2 and 3 (benefit from discussion). Find more guidance on adapting our math curriculum for remote learning here.

Estimate whether the following sums and differences are greater than or less than 1. For any estimate that is less than 1, estimate whether the sum or difference will be greater than or less than $$\frac{1}{2}$$.
a. $${{1\over2}}+{3\over4}$$
b. $$1{2\over3}-{2\over5}$$
c. $${4\over10}+{2\over9}$$
d. $$1{4\over7}-{9\over10}$$

Modified by Fishtank Learning, Inc.Joe is baking cookies. He needs a total of $$2$$ cups of sugar for the recipe. Joe bought a $$4{1\over2}$$ cup bag of sugar and has used $$2{3\over4}$$ cups already.
Without solving the problem, does Joe have enough sugar? Explain your thinking.

Modified by Fishtank Learning, Inc.Kevin and Tiana are making soup. The recipe calls for a pound of onions. They have one onion that weighs $${{1\over2}}$$ pound and another that weighs $${{2\over5}}$$ pound. Kevin says they only have $${{3\over7}}$$ pound of onion, so they definitely don't have enough.
Do you think Kevin's answer is reasonable? Why or why not?

After a class lunch, the class has $$\frac{9}{16}$$ gallon of soup left over. They give $$\frac{3}{8}$$ gallon of this soup to the school office.
A student says they now have $$\frac{3}{4}$$ gallon of soup left over because when you subtract the numerators and denominators, the difference is $$\frac{6}{8}$$, and $$\frac{6}{8}$$ is equivalent to $$\frac{3}{4}$$ when you divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
