Simplifying FractionsEarlier this unit, we worked on equivalent fractions. Now that we have added unlike fractions together, you may have noticed that some of our fractions have become very very large! To fix this problem, we need to "simplify" or "reduce" our fractions. Download the file below and practice Simplifying some fractions.
Hint* Remember to maybe use some of the divisibility rules we learnt earlier this year to help you reduce the fractions.

On some of our previous work sheets, we have discovered that many of our answers are "Improper Fractions". When you are given an improper fraction, you want to be able to convert them to a Mixed Number. Mixed numbers are exactly what they sound like. They are numbers that are a mix between whole numbers and fractions. If we look at the number above, the 2 would be the whole number and the 1/3 is the fraction.
Download the file below the video, and convert the improper fractions into Mixed Numbers. |

Now that we have finished adding fractions, we are going to explore the other half of the unit, subtracting. Subtracting fractions has many of the same steps as adding fractions. If the denominators are different, we are still required to cross-multiply and make the denominators the same. If the fraction is improper, converting the fraction into a mixed number is still needed.
