Contents: Problems with like fractions.

Objective:

After this lesson, students will be able to:

- Add unlike fractions and mixed numbers.
- Find the least common denominator.
- Subtract unlike fractions and mixed numbers

RESOURCES:
- Notebooks.
- Worksheets.
- Paper Pencils.

Activities:

10 min intro –
Basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be
carried out on fractions.
Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
Addition of Like Fractions:
Two or more like fractions (fractions whose denominator are the same) can be added
by simply adding up the numerators of the fractions and expressing it as a fraction with
the denominator being the same as the denominator of the ones that were added.
Examples:
2/5+4/5+3/5=9/52/5+4/5+3/5=9/5
1/8+3/8+2/8=6/8
10 min guided practise –

Addition of Unlike Fractions:

Two or more unlike fractions (fractions whose denominator are not the same) can be
added by following the procedures below:
- Obtain the Lowest Common Multiple of the denominators (LCD).
- Express the fractions to be added in their equivalent forms with the LCD as the
denominator.
- Since fractions to be added now have the same denominator, add as in addition
of like fractions.

Examples:
- 1/3+2/51/3+2/5
Solution:
- LCD of 3 and 5 = 15
- =(5/15)+(6/15)=(5/15)+(6/15)
- =11/15

30 min individual practise –

Add the given like fractions and write the answers in simpli!ed form.

5 min –
Have a student write any fraction on the board. Ask for a volunteer to identify the
numerator and denominator in this fraction, and then create a matching visual that
represents the fraction.

Contents: Review Fraction Problems.

Objective:

Upon completion of this lesson, students will:

- Add and subtract proper fractions with like denominators and simplify the result
where necessary,
- Add and subtract proper fractions with unlike denominators and simplify the
result where necessary,
- solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions.

RESOURCES:
- Instructor Guided Practice Questions.
- Homework Worksheet.
- Paper Pencils.
- Notebooks.

Activities:

10 min intro :

There are 3 simple steps to subtract fractions

Step 1. Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same
Step 2. Subtract the top numbers (the numerators). Put the answer over the same
denominator.
Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed).

10 min guided practise –

Example 1: Rachel rode her bike for one-fifth of a mile on Monday and two-fifths of a
mile on Tuesday. How many miles did she ride altogether?

Analysis: To solve this problem, we will add two fractions with like denominators.

Solution:

Answer: Rachel rode her bike for three-fifths of a mile altogether.

30 min individual practise:

Example 2: Stefanie swam seven-fifths of a lap in the morning and four- fifths of a lap
in the evening. How much farther did Stefanie swim in the morning than in the evening?
Analysis: To solve this problem, we will subtract two fractions with unlike denominators.
Answer: Stefanie swam three-fifths of a lap farther in the morning.

5 min Conclusion:
Ask some students the process of addition and subtraction of proper fractions, check
the activity and give away the homework.

HOMEWORK:

1. A recipe needs 3/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 red pepper. How much more black
pepper is needed than red pepper for this recipe?

2. Juanita needed 10/3 hours to take a standardized test, and Jordan needed 6/3 hours. How
much more time did Jordan need than Juanita to take the test?

Contents: Review Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions (Part 1).

Activities: Students prove they learnt about types of fractions.

Objective:
Upon completion of this lesson, students will:
- Identify the lowest common denominator in equations.
- Subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
- Explain in words and pictures how to add and subtract fractions.

Activities:

10 min intro –
Remind students that the denominator is the bottom number of a fraction and
represents the total number of pieces of the whole, while the numerator is the top
number and represents some of the parts of the whole (e.g., ⅖ represents 2 pieces of
the total 5 pieces).

10 min guided practise–

Write ⅘ − ⅒ on the board. Explain that the denominator is different so they cannot
subtract the number 1 from the number 4. Tip: draw bar models of ⅘ and ⅒ to show
that the total parts, or whole, (i.e., denominator) is different, so if they subtracted the
number 1 from ⅘ it would subtract too much.

Think aloud finding multiples for the denominators 5 (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.) and
10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.) and write them on the board. Explain to them that a
multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (e.g., 4 x 4 = 12, where 12
is the multiple). Consider the list of multiples and then circle the least common
denominator, or the smallest multiple they have in common (i.e., 10). Tell students that
the least common multiple of two denominators is known as the least common
denominator (LCD). Then, think aloud how to change the 5 in the denominator to 10
(i.e., multiplying 5 by 2) and multiply by the number 2 on the top and bottom so that
you get a new equation of 8 ⁄10 − ⅒. Subtract one-tenth from eight-tenths to get a total
of seven-tenths remaining. Compare the final answer to what the answer would have
been had you subtracted the equation using unlike denominators.

10 min individual practise–

Ask students to explain why it's important to change the denominators so that they are
the same. Write some of their responses on the board. Write 5 ⁄8 − ¼ on the board and
ask students to help you solve the problem. Call on students to tell you the next step
and make some "mistakes" they have to correct along the way. Have a volunteer
explain how to subtract fractions when they have different denominators. They should
understand the following steps:
1. Check to make sure the denominators are the same.
2. If the denominators are not the same, find the least common denominator for the
denominators.

3. Multiply the denominator and numerator by the number that will make the
denominator equal to the least common denominator.
4. Subtract the fractions.
Write the steps on the board for students to reference as they work with their partners
to complete the first two problems from the Subtracting Fractions: Unlike Denominators
worksheet. Ask students to use their whiteboards to complete the problems.

5 min –
Distribute a lined sheet of paper and write 11⁄12 − ¾ on the board. Ask students to
solve the problem and write down their process. Allow students to share their answer
to the subtraction problem and their written explanation aloud to their partners. Give
them the opportunity to make any adjustments as necessary.

Contents: Review Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions (Part 2).

Activities: Students prove they learnt about types of fractions.

Objective:
Upon completion of this lesson, students will:
- Identify the lowest common denominator in equations.
- Add fractions with unlike denominators.
- Explain in words and pictures how to add and subtract fractions.

Activities:

10 min intro –
When you have fractions with different denominators, you can use equivalent fractions
to add them. Look at the models to see how.

To add ¼ + 5/8, you can think of 1/4 as 2/8.

Those fractions are equivalent, or the same.

The models show that ¼ + 5/8 = 2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8.

10 min guided practise–

You can also add fractions without models. When you have fractions with different
denominators, follow these steps to add:

 Rename the fractions using a common denominator.

 Add the numerators, and keep the denominator the same.
 Simplify if needed.

Let's try it with ¼ + 1/6.

First, rename the fractions using a common denominator. The least common
denominator of these fractions is 12. Multiply to make equivalent fractions with a
denominator of 12.

1×3 = 3 1 × 2 = 2

4×3 12 6 × 2 12

10 min individual practise–

Then, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

3 + 2 = 5
12 12 12

5 is already in simplest form. So, 1 + 1 = 5 !

12 4 6 12

5 min –
Allow students to share their answer to the subtraction problem and their written
explanation aloud to their partners. Give them the opportunity to make any
adjustments as necessary.
