If Mira drinks 2/8 of a bottle in the morning and 3/8 later, how much altogether?
fraction addition
Same denominators mean add the numerators.
Example: 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8.
Add and subtract fractions with like denominators and connect them to mixed-number thinking.
When the denominators are the same, the parts are the same size. Add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator unchanged.
Open one card at a time, read the text together, and use the audio button when hearing the line once helps.
fraction addition
Same denominators mean add the numerators.
Example: 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8.
fraction subtraction
Subtract the parts because the whole is shrinking.
Example: 7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10 or 1/2.
whole from fractions
A denominator-sized number of parts makes one whole.
Example: 4/4 = 1 whole.
visual model
Models make fraction operations easier to understand.
Example: Visual thinking supports fraction accuracy.
