In the classroom
Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Understand that rewriting a fraction with a common denominator changes its form, not its value.
Teaching tips
Have students explain why their rewritten fractions have the same value as the originals. A fraction model can help if they are applying the rule without understanding it.
Ask students to estimate the sum before calculating, then use the estimate to check whether their answer is reasonable.
Skills covered
Equivalent fractions — find a common denominator without changing the fractions’ values.
Adding fractions — combine fractional parts and whole numbers.
Regrouping — express sums greater than one whole in mixed-number form.

- 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.)
