Apply properties of operations to work with mixed numbers. The first of two lesson plans that focus on properties of operations works with mixed numbers and converting opposites of sums. Pupils work with properties of operations to break apart mixed numbers to add or subtract them by their components. The class develops an understanding that the opposite of a sum is the sum of the opposites.
