solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of equivalent fractions
Elaborations
-
representing addition and subtraction of fractions, using an understanding of equivalent fractions and methods such as jumps on a number line, or diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes
-
determining the lowest common denominator using an understanding of prime and composite numbers to find equivalent representation of fractions when solving addition and subtraction problems
-
calculating the addition or subtraction of fractions in the context of real-world problems (for example, using part cups or spoons in a recipe), using the understanding of equivalent fractions
-
understanding the processes for adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators and fractions as an operator, in preparation for calculating with all fractions; for example, using fraction overlays and number lines to give meaning to adding and subtracting fractions with related and unrelated denominators
