Adding Fractions

WALT: add fractions with different denominators.

 

Success Criteria:

  1. First, you need to convert one of the fractions into a fraction with the same denominator as the other fraction.

 

e.g.  2/9 + 1/3 = ?

 

  1. Now add them together by adding the top numbers (numerators). The denominators stay the same.

2/9 + 3/9

= 5/9 

  1. Lastly, simplify the fraction if you need to, or convert the improper fraction into a mixed numeral.

In this example we don’t need to simplify.

Here is my example: 2/4 + 3/8 = ?

Pie Graphs

This term 3 we made pie graphs in maths.  How we made them step 1 first we would say what our favourite sport

was. Step 2 we would have a vote then we would get out our maths book then draw a circle draw a few lines in it then we would get a calculator for what sport we chose and other sport so for netball we would write on the calculator write in the answer then step 3, we would write a key so it would be like blue = basketball red = hockey  pink = netball

The hardest thing about it was drawing the circle because I’m not good at drawing, what I am proud of is my writing

Have you ever made a Pie Graph before?
