Operating With Fractions Addition

The document provides steps for performing basic operations with fractions and decimals: 1) For fraction addition and subtraction, find a common denominator or use a number line to add or subtract the fractions. 2) For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and denominators separately, simplifying the resulting fraction if possible. 3) For decimal addition and subtraction, align the decimals and add or subtract the values. For decimal multiplication, count decimal places, remove decimals, multiply normally and place the decimal in the final answer.

Operating with Fractions

Addition:
Find a common whole (LCM)
Add
Is it improper? Change to a mixed number (take out the wholes).
Is that your final answer? Can you divide both the top and bottom by
10, 5, 2, 3? Keep going until you can not divide evenly.

Subtraction:
Use the number line (jump from your smaller fraction to your larger).
Add your jumps (see above for the steps to add)

Multiplication:
Fraction X Fraction
Multiply tops by tops and bottoms by bottoms (Need a model/visual?
Build an array)
Is it improper? Change to a mixed number (take out the wholes).
Is that your final answer? Can you divide both the top and bottom by
10, 5, 2, 3? Keep going until you can not divide evenly.

Fraction X Whole Number


Place the whole number over one and multiply (see above for steps to
multiply fraction by fraction)

Fraction X Mixed Number


Change mixed number to an improper fraction
Multiply fraction by fraction (see steps above)
Is it improper? Change to a mixed number (take out the wholes).
Is that your final answer? Can you divide both the top and bottom by
10, 5, 2, 3? Keep going until you can not divide evenly.

Mixed Number X Mixed Number


Open array (split whole number and fraction)
Multiply each piece
Add up the pieces (see above for steps to add)
Is it improper? Change to a mixed number (take out the wholes).
Is that your final answer? Can you divide both the top and bottom by
10, 5, 2, 3? Keep going until you can not divide evenly.
Division
Whole Number Unit Fraction
4
Ask yourself...how many pieces are in 4 wholes?
12 pieces so 4 = 12

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

10 11 12

Unit Fraction Whole Number


4
Build an array
What is double shaded?
1/12 so... 4= 1/12

Operating with Decimals

Addition and Subtraction


Line up the decimals and place values
Place zeroes so that all numbers have a buddy
Add or subtract like normal. Dont forget your decimal point!

Multiplication
Count the decimal places in each number (Put them in a box)
Remove decimal points
Multiply like normal
Starting from the right, count the number of decimal places in the box
and place your decimal point at that location
