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…

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

42. 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

44. 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!

45. You cannot add or subtract fractions if the denominators are different numbers.
