Focus: Fraction Addition
Focus: Fraction Addition
Learning Target: I can find the sum of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Learning Target: I can find the sum of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Task:
Draw a model to find the equivalent value for each fraction with a like denominator.
a) 2/5 and 3/4 b) 1/4 and 2/3 c) 4/6 and 1/2
Draw a model to calculate the sum.
a) 2/5 + 3/4 = b) 3/7 + 2/3 = c) 1/2 + 3/5 =
d) 2/6 + 1/3 = e) 3/15 + 2/3 = f) 6/8 + 1/4 =

Learning Target: I can find the sum of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Learning Target: I can find the sum of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Task:
Solve for the sum of 5 problems. Write in your math notebook to show the problem, your work and the answer.
How to form the addition problem:
Roll 3 dice. Use this dice generator.
WANTING A CHALLENGE: Use this dice generator. (15-sided)
Form a mixed number using all three numbers from the roll.
(DON'T make an improper fraction)
Form another mixed number using all three numbers from the same roll.
(DON'T make an improper fraction)
Determine the sum for each situation. Write in your math notebook to show your work and the answer.
***Confused on finding like denominators? Watch the video explaining Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators.
TIP: WATCH the video again and pause as you solve each problem.
Prove your answer is correct using models or equivalent fractions.
MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LIKE DENOMINATOR!!! WATCH the video if you don't remember what a Like Denominator is and/or how to get one.

Learning Target: I can find the difference of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Learning Target: I can find the difference of fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
Task: Determine the difference. Some of the problems will require borrowing. Be sure to show ALL of the steps to solve each problem in your notebook.
Remember this is a mixed number: 2 1/2...a whole value with a fractional value.
USE A MODEL:
A. 3 1/5 - 2 3/5 B. 4/6 - 2/3 C. 6 5/8 - 1 2/6
D. 5/7 - 8/14 E. 7/9 - 1/2 F. 2 4/6 - 1 1/12
USE STANDARD ALGORITHM:
G. 2 1/8 - 1 3/4 H. 5 3/4 - 2 4/5 I. 12 2/3 - 6/7
J. 3 5/10 - 2 9/10 K. 15 1/2 - 7 4/6 L. 8 1/3 - 5 2/5
USE this cheat sheet to help find Like Denominators:
Try to find at least three similarities and three differences. Make a T-chart.
