    Hints and Reminders:
  • Finding a Fraction of a Whole Number
    • Change the "of" into a multiplication sign.
    • Divide the whole number by the denominator.
    • Then multiply the answer by the numerator.

  • Multiplying Fractions
    • Multiply the numerators together.
    • Multiply the denominators together.
    • Reduce if necessary. This can be done at the end or during the "work phase" as shown in class. ("What can divide into the top level and bottom level numbers?")

  • Dividing Fractions [Rewrite the equation using these instructions.]
    1. The first fraction stays the same.
    2. Change the multiplication sign into a division sign.
    3. Flip over (invert) the second fraction.
    4. Now mulitply.

  • Finding Equivalent Fractions
    • "Whatever you times the bottom by, you times the top by that number too."
      • and
    • "Whatever you times the top by, you times the bottom by that number too."

  • Adding and Subtracting Mixed Fractions: "Easier" Method
    1. Keep them as mixed fractions.
    2. Make sure both denominators of the fractions parts are the same. (Cross multiply or just multiply one side.)
    3. Add or subtract the whole numbers.
    4. Add or subtract the numerators. Don't forget to keep the denominator! [Warning! You may need to regroup if the first fraction is smaller than the second fraction!]
    5. If the fraction part of the answer is an improper fraction, regroup!.

  • Adding and Subtracting Mixed Fractions: Improper Fractions Method
    1. Change the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
    2. Make sure both denominators are the same. (Cross multiply or just multiply one side.)
    3. Add or subtract the numerators.
    4. If the answer is an improper fraction, change it into a mixed fraction.

  • Here is a reminder for changing mixed fractions into improper fractions:


  • Here is a reminder for changing improper fractions into mixed fractions:

  • Adding and Subtracting Fractions
    • The main thing is you need the same denominators to add or subtract fractions!
    • Look at the smaller denominator. Can something times the smaller denominator give you the bigger denominator? If there is, then multiply the "smaller denominator side," top and bottom to get the bigger denominator.
    • If there isn't, then cross multiply both sides, top and bottom, to get the same denomiator.
    • Then add or subtract the numerators. The denomiator stays the same.
