Addition and
Subtraction of Fractions

MADE BY: MS. SARAH WALID


Think about this...
I can eat
I can eat of the pizza.
You and your friend went to eat a pizza. of the pizza.

What portion of the total pieces do you


think you’ll eat?

Talk with a partner about how you can


solve this problem.
First up,
addition!
How can we add like fractions and ?

Let’s visualize each of these fractions using area models:

Notice that both fractions are portions of the


same whole divided into eight equal parts.
How can we add like fractions and ?
When adding fractions with common
denominators, we ADD the numerators.

1 4 5
+ =
8 8 8
If our answer is not in simplest
form, we must simplify it.

1 3
+ =
8 8 8
If our answer is not in simplest
form, we must simplify it.

1 3
+ = =
8 8 8 8
Exercises

2 3 2 4
a. + = b. + =

Now, we can add our fractions.

4 3 7
+ =
12 12 12
1 4 1 3
x4 x3

= =
3 x4
12 4 x3
12
Now, we can add our fractions.

4 3 7
+ =
12 12 12
Examples
Exercises
Now, let's do
subtraction!
These fractions have common denominators,
so we SUBTRACT the numerators.
