During the next few weeks, our math class will be represented by a whole number and
learning how to add and subtract fractions and a fraction

mixed numbers. First, we will use models to find numerator The number in a fraction
that tells how many parts of the
the sums or the differences. Then we will record whole or group are being considered

You can expect to see homework that provides

practice adding and subtracting fractions with and
without models.
Here is a sample of how your child will be taught to
add fractions using fraction strips.

Activity
Have your child use measuring cups to practice addition and
subtraction of fractions. For example, to model 1_4 1 3_4 , have your
child use rice to fill one measuring cup to the 1_4 -cup mark and
another measuring cup to the 3_4 -cup mark. Then ask him or her to
combine the amounts to find the sum, 4_4 or 1 whole cup.
