Objectives for this lesson:
1.
Given fraction numerals, students will perform the addition of fractions with the same denominator and where one denominator is a multiple of another with at least 80% accuracy.
2.
Using numerals students will solve word problems involving the addition of fractions where the denominators are the same and where one denominator is a multiple of another with at least 80% accuracy.
3.
During group activities and hands-on investigations, students will show interest and cooperation while adding fractions actively participating and sharing ideas respectfully.
Important terms to remember
Denominator
The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. It shows how many equal parts the whole is divided into.
The denominator tells you how many equal pieces the whole is cut into.
👉 Example:
In 3/4, the denominator is 4.
That means the pizza is cut into 4 equal slices.
Multiple
A multiple is a number you get when you multiply another number by a whole number.
Multiples are numbers you get when you count in groups.
👉 Example:
Multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20…
You get them by counting:
5 × 1, 5 × 2, 5 × 3…
Numerator
The numerator is the top number in a fraction. It shows how many parts are being used or counted.
Think of a pizza 🍕.
The numerator tells you how many slices you have.
👉 Example:
In the fraction 3/4, the numerator is 3.
That means you have 3 slices of pizza.
