Simplifying Fractions Week of: 11/14 to 11/15 Skills Overview Equivalent Fractions Simplifying Fractions Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers with LIKE Denominators Copyright © 2013 by Monica Yuskaitis 5

Equivalent Fractions http://safeYouTube.net/w/gTmf

Simplest Form Simplify Reduce Lowest Terms ALL TERMS MEAN SAME THING

Fractions – Adding or Subtracting with Like Denominators

3 4 Parts of a Fraction = the number of parts = the total number of parts that equal a whole

Parts of a Fraction 3 = numerator 4 = denominator

Adding or Subtracting with LIKE Denominators Add or Subtract the numerators Keep the same denominator 1/4 1/4 3 1 4 + = 4 4 4 1/4 1/4

Simplify Your Answer 4 1 = 4

Add these fractions 1/5 1/5 3 1 4 + = 1/5 5 5 5 1/5

Add these fractions 1/4 1/4 2 1 3 + = 4 4 4 1/4

Add these fractions 1 1 1 6 6 6 3 2 5 + = 6 6 6 1 1 6 6

Simplify Your Answer 4 2 2 ÷ = 6 2 3

Adding with Mixed Numbers and Fractions 4 3 7 + = 4 4 9 9 9 Add or Subtract Whole Numbers Add or Subtract Numerators Keep the Same Denominator

Add these fractions 3 1 4 + = 5 5 8 8 8

Simplify Your Answer 4 4 1 5 ÷ 5 = 8 4 2

Monday Skills Overview Week of: 11/19 to 11/23 Monday Skills Overview Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers with UNLIKE Denominators Butterfly Method 4 Square Method Copyright © 2013 by Monica Yuskaitis 30

What are we doing today? Agenda: Review Fraction Vocabulary Review Adding and Subtracting Fractions with LIKE denominators The Butterfly Method for adding and subtracting unlike fractions Practice

A recipe calls for ¾ cup of regular sugar and 2/3 cup of brown sugar A recipe calls for ¾ cup of regular sugar and 2/3 cup of brown sugar. How much sugar is there altogether? We can’t add two fractions together when the denominators are different. So, we can use a fun trick called the “Butterfly Method” to help us! Let’s go to the next slide to try it out…

Day 2

What are we doing today? Agenda: Least Common Denominator (4 Square Method for adding fractions) 2. Adding Fractions & Mixed Numbers

Least Common Denominator Method You cannot add or subtract fractions if the denominators are different numbers. Step 1: List the first few multiples of the two denominators Step 2: Find the least common denominator Step 3: Use this to make equivalent fractions Step 4: Then add the numerators but keep the same denominator

Least Common Denominator Method – mixed numbers 2 ¼ + 1 ½ Add the whole number parts first, save that answer for later. For the Fraction Parts: List the first few multiples of the two denominators Find the least common denominator Use this to make equivalent fractions Then add the numerators but keep the same denominator Simplify your fraction and then add it back to the whole numbers from the beginning!

Adding Unlike Fractions Monday A recipe calls for ¾ cup of regular sugar and 2/3 cup of brown sugar. How much sugar is there altogether? You cannot add or subtract fractions if the denominators are different numbers. Step 1: Find the least common denominator Step 2: Use this to make equivalent fractions Step 3: Then add the numerators but keep the same denominator Denominators are like socks! We want them to match up before we combine them.

Modeled Examples – Mixed Numbers Monday You cannot add or subtract fractions if the denominators are different numbers. Step 1: Find the least common denominator of the fractions Step 2: Use this to make equivalent fractions Step 3: Then Add the numerators but keep the same denominator. Add the whole numbers!
