    Before we can look at adding fractions we
    need to get some practice in finding
    equivalent fractions.
    So long as you multiply the top and the
    bottom of a fraction by the same number
    you will not change its size (because all you
    are doing is multiplying by 1!)
    2 4 8 2 8
    e.g., x = so =
    5 4 20 5 20
    This is just 1 whole
    Match up the fraction on the left with its
    equivalent on the right.

    An improper fraction is one where the
    numerator (top number) is bigger than the
    denominator (bottom number).

    This means that there must be more than


    one whole one.
    3
    e.g. =1 =
    2

    15
    =
    4
    An improper fraction can also be
    written as a mixed number. This means
    a whole number and a fraction.

    3 1
    e.g. =1 = =1
    2 2

    15 3
    = =3
    4 4
    If you can find equivalent fractions then
    simplifying fractions should not be a problem.
    Give me some equivalent fractions for:

    Which one do you think is the simplest and
    why?

    Simplifying a fraction just means finding an
    equivalent fraction with the smallest numbers
    possible

    To convert an improper fraction into a mixed
    number:
    How many times does the denominator go
    into the numerator ?
    This is the whole number part.
    The remainder is the numerator of the
    fraction part.
    Example:

    38 2
    9
    = 4 9

    How many times does 9 go into 38?


    What is the remainder?
    To convert a mixed number into an improper
    fraction :
    Multiply the whole number by the
    denominator then add the numerator
    This is the numerator of the improper
    fraction
    The denominator stays the same.
    Example:

    5 21 5 26
    3 7
    =
    7
    +
    7
    =
    7

    How many sevenths is 3 whole ones?

    3 x 7 = 21
    What do you think the answer to this is:
    We can’t just add numerators and denominators or
    we end up saying 2 halves make a half

    1 1 2 1
    + = =
    2 2 4 2

    We know that 2 halves make a whole one:


    1 1 2
    + = = 1
    2 2 2

    All we add are the numerators, the


    denominator stays the same.
    Before we can add fractions we have to
    make sure the denominators are the same
    This is where our equivalent fractions come
    in: 2 5
    +
    3 6

    We have to turn the thirds into sixths


    2 5 4 5 9
    + = + =
    3 6 6 6 6
    This is the easiest operation to do with
    fractions.
    Just multiply the numerators to get the
    numerator of the answer,
    And multiply the denominators to get the
    denominator of the answer.
    2 3 6
    e.g. x =
    5 7 35
    You can treat division just like multiplication
    – there is just one step to do first.
    Turn the fraction you are dividing by upside
    down.
    Then change the division to a multiplication.

    2 3 2 7 14
    e.g.  = x =
    5 7 5 3 15
