L.C. To be able to add fractions with the same denominator and record answers as mixed numbers.
What were we learning to do yesterday?
What is the problem asking us to do?
How can we calculate the total of the 2 fractions?
4⁄5 + 3⁄5 = 7⁄5.
How many wholes and how many fifths this total is equivalent to?
Look at the calculation: 4⁄5 + 3⁄5.
How many fifths do we need to make a whole?
Can we partition 3⁄5 into parts?
We will partition it into 1⁄5 and 2⁄5, so now we can add 4⁄5 and 1⁄5 to make 1 whole and then add on 2⁄5.
Have we answered the question?
