Adding Fractions

Fractions can be tricky, so be sure any independent practice worksheets you assign guide scholars through steps like this one. There are two examples showing mathematicians how to add fractions and reduce the answer to simplest terms. Each of these 33 equations has like denominators, so scholars simply add the numerators across and simplify. The first six have denominators already written into the answer. Any sums requiring simplifying prompt scholars to continue working by providing an additional space. This is an excellent approach to worry-free fraction addition.
