Kim's Scribe Post

Hello, I have volunteered or have been assigned to do a scribe post on Adding Fractions.
But I would like to explain what fractions are (even though I wasn't assigned to do so). Do you know what fractions are? Well, there is 4 well known kinds of fractions, a proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed fraction and equivalent fractions. Fractions that represents a part (numerator) over a whole (denominator) , that would be called a proper fraction. When a fraction is representing something with a numerator that is larger than the denominator, that would be called an improper fraction. A mixed fraction is when you have a whole number and a proper fraction. Last but not least, an equivalent fraction is when two (or more) fractions equal the same. Below is an bubble share presentation that would help you understand more about fractions.

Now onto adding fractions. First, I'm going to start off with:

Adding with "like" Denominators

Below is a bubble share presentation that would lead you through and show you how to add fractions with the same denominators.

Subtracting Fractions With Like Denominators

Fractions:
Fractions are parts of a whole that has a numerator (the part) and a denominator (the whole; can't be a zero).There are three types. Which are proper( 3/5), improper(5/2) and mixed(1 1/2) fractions which can be simplified and can't have decimals.

Can you subtract? If yes, then you can subtract fractions with like denominators.

Here's my illustration: The steps are mentioned!

Subtracting Fractions With Unlike Denominators

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is not harder it just takes a little longer. You have to find the CD (Common Denominator)

Common Denominator:
Common Denominator is when you have fractions with the same denominator.

Here is my illustration about common denominators:
