  1. Add Fractions and Mixed Numbers

  2. Add Fractions and Mixed Numbers Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza?

  3. Add and Subtract Fractions Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza? Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  4. Add and Subtract Fractions Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza? Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  5. Add and Subtract Fractions Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza? Can we say that there are 3 slices left? Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  6. Add and Subtract Fractions Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza? Can we say that there are 3 slices left? No, because that would ignore the fact that they are different sizes. Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  7. Add and Subtract Fractions Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza? Can we say that there are 3 slices left? No, because that would ignore the fact that they are different sizes. ie) Would it be 3 quarters or 3 thirds or something else? Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  8. Add and Subtract Fractions We need to change the leftover amounts so that they are in pieces of the same size. Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza =

  9. Add and Subtract Fractions We need to change the leftover amounts so that they are in pieces of the same size. Mr. Black’s Pizza = Mr. Green’s Pizza = =

  10. Add and Subtract Fractions We need to change the leftover amounts so that they are in pieces of the same size. Mr. Black’s Pizza = = Mr. Green’s Pizza = =

  11. Add and Subtract Fractions We need to change the leftover amounts so that they are in pieces of the same size. Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together: Mr. Black’s Pizza = = Mr. Green’s Pizza = =

  12. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = = Mr. Green’s Pizza = = Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together:

  13. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together:

  14. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together:

  15. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together:

  16. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together: Remember, just add the numerators!

  17. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together: We can now describe the leftover amount.

  18. Add and Subtract Fractions Mr. Black’s Pizza = 2/3 = 8/12 Mr. Green’s Pizza = 1/4 = 3/12 Now that we are dealing with pieces of the same size, we can add the amounts together: We can now describe the leftover amount. There is 11/12 of a pizza left.

  19. Add and Subtract Fractions When working with fractions, changing amounts into pieces of the same size is called finding a common denominator.
