Math 8 Unit 3: Operations with Fractions
Unit 3: Operations with Fractions What you’ll learn • Estimate the products and quotients of fractions and mixed numbers • Multiply a fraction by a whole number and by a fraction • Divide a fraction by a whole number and by a fraction • Multiply and divide mixed numbers • Use the order of operations with fractions
Unit 3: Operations with Fractions Why it’s important: • Used with cooking for measuring • Used with shopping (sales ½ off) • Used with construction for measuring
Fraction Review Review Fractions are used to show parts of a whole. Three parts out of four are coloured in. One part out of four is white.
Fraction Review Review • The top is called the numerator. • The bottom is called the denominator. • The line is called the fraction bar. numerator fraction bar denominator
Fraction Review Review Improper fractions have a numerator larger than the denominator. Mixed fractions are a combination of whole number and fraction. Improper fraction Mixed fraction
Fraction Review Review Equivalent fractions – have the same value, they are multiples of each other.
Fraction Review Review Find the smallest equivalent fraction. A. B. C. D.
Fraction Review Review To add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. Use equivalent fractions to get the same denominator.
Fraction Review Make equivalent fractions by doubling the quarter. The denominator must be the same for both fractions. Reduce the fraction to the smallest possible equivalent fraction.
Fraction Review Make equivalent fractions by halving the two eighths. The denominator must be the same for both fractions. Reduce the fraction to the smallest possible equivalent fraction.
