There are essentially just two ways to write 1/2 as a sum of two basic fractions, and just two to write 1/3 this way.
a) How many ways to so write 1/5 and 1/7?
b) How many ways to so write 1/4 and 1/6?

Wayne, can you see the flaw in my reasoning. I agree with the first 4 being F(2n), but n=5?
1x1x1x1x1 one way; 1x1x1x2 four ways; 1x1x3 x3; 1x4 x2;
2x2x1 x3; 2x3 x2; 4x1 x2; 5
1 8 9 8 12 12 8 5 = 63

Shades of @dmarain , I found myself on New Year's Day, observing the intersecting shadow lunes that form on my Metamucil bottle by the various overhead pot lights.

For subtraction, I really like shifting equally. Here I'd do two moves to make it simpler. 7 less and 500 more:
6015 – 3507 = 6008 – 3500 = 6508 – 4000 = 2508

8% = 8/100 = 4/50
4/50 x 9/9 = 36/450 so
36 is 8% of 450

#MathStratChat I guess I see the proportion built:
32/100 = 16/x. This means 'x' must be half of 100 since 16 is half of 32.

18 is 24% of what? Setting up the proportion: 24/100 = 18/w
24/100 ÷ 4/4 = 6/25
so 6/25 x 3/3 = 18/75
thus 18 is 24% of 75

#MathStratChat partial factoring: 3 x 25 x 4 x 6 = 3 x 100 x 6 or 3x6 x 100 = 1800
3/4 of 24 = 3 x 6 dollars = 1800 cents

#MathStratChat 6 ÷ 3 = 2. Since we are starting with 3/4 less than 6, we will have an answer that is 3/4 ÷ 3 less than 2. And 2 – 1/4 = 1 3/4

To be different or to introduce another medium, let's think sandwiches. A 12 inch sandwich is a footlong. A third of it is 4 inches and 2/3rds is then 8 inches.
So 11 inches – 8 inches is 3 inches or 3/12 of a foot.
Is there a name for a 1/4 sandwich?

I think decimals jump to mind for this as 0.55 - 0.40 = 0.15 or 15/100 or 3/20
as soon as I did this, 11/20 - 8/20 looks easy too.

Still triggering money with the 1/4, converted 7/20 to 35/100 so 25¢ 35¢ = 60¢ so 0.60 or 6/10 = 3/5

At #EDcampBCCC this morning, I was inspired to give thoughts to how the new reporting order, core competencies, self-reflections through the use of metaphor, prompts and templates (with choice & sliding proficiency scales). "Weaving" with friendly language for parents/Ss too.
