Adding and Subtracting Fractions
What to Know About Fractions
The goal of this map is to aid in teaching elementary students in a unit on Fractions. The map includes information students need to know about fractions like the basics, finding equivalent fractions, finding common denominators, ordering fractions, and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. The map also includes videos, images, and websites the students could explore to get more knowledge about fractions.
Multiplying Fractions
To multiply two fractions, you simply multiply both numerators and multiply both denominators
Subtracting Fractions
If two fractions have different denominators, you must first find a common denominator before subtracting numerators
If two fractions have the same denominator, you simply subtract the second numerator from the first numerator
Adding Fractions
Website for adding fractions practice
If two fractions have different denominators, you must first find a common denominator before adding numerators
If two fractions have the same denominator, you simply add both numerators
Dividing Fractions
To divide two fractions, you flip the second fraction so the numerator is now the denominator and the denominator is now the numerator, and then you multiply both fractions
