Activity or Task 3 Della bought a lemon tree that was 2 ¼ feet tall. During the first year, it grew 1 1/6 feet. After 2 years it was 5 feet tall. How much did the tree grow during the second year? Estimate your answer first and circle it. Then solve using a visual model. Teacher will hand out the problem. Students will estimate and solve independently on the paper. Students will estimate first and then solve using visual models and an equation. How could your model show a common denominator? Is your answer (model) reasonable? Where does your model live in your equation? Show another way to solve this problem. How can you use a number line to solve this problem? Closure How was your estimate helpful in knowing if your answer is reasonable or not? How did your model and equation represent the problem situation? Teacher will ask class the question. Students will think quietly and then some will share out to the whole class.
