Adding and Subtracting Fractions


We will be focusing on fractions in math. This will include reducing fractions to their simplest form, comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators.

You can further this lesson at home by adding ingredients in a recipe book.

Example: 1/4 cup of sugar + 1/3 cup of flour

Rename: 1/4 = 3/12   and   1/3 = 4/12

Add: 3/12 cup + 4/12 cup = 7/12 cup ingredients
