Assist your students in understanding how to add fractions with like denominators by showing them this presentation. Sal adds 3/15 to 7/15 and then simplifies his answer. He uses drawings and multiple colors to show the actual process.

Multiplying fractions has never been easier than in this presentation, which demonstrates the correct way to approach a fraction multiplication problem. Experienced and struggling mathematicians alike will appreciate the way the speaker...

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

Mathematicians walk through the problem-solving process with a nine-minute video that focuses on adding mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators. The host points out and discusses how to use the stacked form, carry, regroup, and...

Race to extreme fluency. Scholars play a car race online game where the faster they choose the answer to fraction addition and subtraction problems, the faster their cars go. Pupils play against the computer or other players online....

Put fractions in their place. An informative video shows learners how to order fractions with common denominators. The class sees a method of ordering fractions with uncommon denominators by creating equivalent fractions with a common...

A lesson challenges mathematicians to race their peers to prove a fraction is greater than, less than, or equal to a second fraction with a common denominator. After reviewing the concept, small groups work collaboratively to play the...

Five questions make up an interactive all about adding fractions with like denominators. Mathematicians answer multiple-choice problems and an open-ended question using a fraction model that resembles sliced bread. The practice ends with...

An interactive challenges scholars to subtract mixed numbers. Pupils answer questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and true or false—with help from virtual fraction strips. The practice closes with a discussion. 

If the fractions don't have a common denominator, make them have one. Learners first read and analyze a conversation of pupils trying to add 2/5 and 1/2. They compare the process of adding fractions to the process of adding quantities...

Three heads are better than one. After reading a conversation between three friends about how to compare fractions, scholars analyze and discuss each presented strategy. These include using unit fractions, using benchmark fractions,...

Do not use the easiest but the first. The video shows a method to find a common denominator by finding the least common denominator to add fractions. By listing the multiples of the denominators, learners easily identify the least common...

Find the easiest common denominator. A video demonstrates finding a common denominator to add fractions. Pupils learn how to find a common denominator by using the product of the two denominators. After finding the common denominator,...

The process requires the combination of several concepts. A video shows how individuals need several concepts to add rational expressions. Pupils must remember they need to find common denominators, combine like terms, and use the...

Teach the least common multiple approach to converting fractions to integers within an equation with a video tutorial that explains how to find the LCM of the denominators in the equation. The instructor then uses the LCM and the...

A rational expression is a fraction where the denominator and/or the numerator is a polynomial. The resource presents rational expressions and how to add and subtract them. Additionally, the video connects the addition and subtraction of...

Develop a strategy for adding and subtracting fractions with your classes. The video shows a procedure for adding and subtracting fractions by finding common denominators. Each example increases in difficulty.

What do fractions and rational expressions have in common? Everything! Learners use common denominators to solve rational equations. Problems advance from simple to more complex, allowing pupils to fully understand the material before...

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator! Learners find common denominators in order to add and subtract rational expressions. Examples include addition, subtraction, and complex fractions.
