Add or Subtract Fractions

1 Solve the problems on this page. If your answer is an improper fraction, find its
equivalent mixed number.
2 2 4
3 + 3 = 3 = 1 13
4 3 4
3 is an improper fraction because 4 is greater than 3. 3 is equal to 1, so 3 is equal to 1 13 .

8 4 3 2 6 4
1 10 – 10 = 4 – 4 = 10 + 10 =

1 3 3 1 2 2
2 + 4 = 6 – 2 = 4 + 2 10 =

2 2
3 – 6 = 1 14 + 2
6 = 3 34 + 2 18 =

2 Find two different ways to show that 1

2 + 1
4 is not equal to 2
6 . You can use numbers,
words, or labeled sketches.
