Skype technology connected a fifth-grade classroom with preservice teachers to complete fraction problem-solving tasks. These tasks align with the grades 3–5 fraction progressions and mathematical practices for the Common Core State Standards. We will share the process and results involving students' ability to decompose fractions.

Presentation Format: 3-5 Burst
