using different ways to add and subtract fractional amounts by subdividing different models of measurement attributes; for example, adding half an hour and three-quarters of an hour using a clock face, adding a 34 cup of flour and a 14 cup of flour, subtracting 34 of a metre from 2 14 metres
representing and solving addition and subtraction problems involving fractions by using jumps on a number line, or bar models, or making diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes
using materials, diagrams, number lines or arrays to show and explain that fraction number sentences can be rewritten in equivalent forms without changing the quantity, for example, 12+14 is the same as 24+14
