How about something that helps with addition / subtraction of fractions (common denominators)? For example, a question on this week's homework is 3/4 + 1/10...
Thank you Lisa! I hope the new video helps. Another perspective would be the Decimal perspective: 3/4 is like 3 quarters =.751/10 is .10.75+.10=.85.85=85/100 or 17/20The connection to money often helps the kids.The common denominator approach:fourths and tenths can easily be viewed as 20ths3/4 would be 15/201/10 would be 2/2015/20+2/20=17/20

ReplyDeleteDecimal perspective:
3/4 is like 3 quarters =.75
1/10 is .10
.75+.10=.85
.85=85/100 or 17/20
The connection to money often helps the kids.
The common denominator approach:
fourths and tenths can easily be viewed as 20ths
3/4 would be 15/20
1/10 would be 2/20
15/20+2/20=17/20
