In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Explain why fractional parts need a common denominator before they can be added.

Teaching tips

  • Compare one problem with matching denominators and one with different denominators. Ask students what needs to change before they can add the fractional parts.

  • When a fractional sum is greater than one, ask students how many whole units it contains before they write the final mixed number.

Skills covered

  • Equivalent fractions — express fractional parts using the same denominator.

  • Adding fractions — combine the fractional and whole-number parts.

  • Regrouping — turn a fraction greater than one into whole units and a remaining fraction.

Standards

  • 5.NF.A.1 — Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
