A. Teaching Basic Fraction Concepts and Operations Using Arc Sectors

The document provides guidance on teaching the addition of fractions to students using physical representations with arc sectors. It describes having students arrange sectors to represent fractions with equal denominators or where one denominator is a multiple of the other. Students then write addition exercises based on the arrangements and solve them using the sectors. Examples are provided of arranging sectors to represent fractions with a sum less than, equal to, or greater than one.

4. Addition of fractions with equal denominators or such that one denominator
11is a multiple of the other f
Group work

Examples
± ±
a. Put on your desk sectors of ≥ and sectors of ∂ .
± ± Select a few of these sectors and arrange them g
∂ ± ∂
∂ ± side by side. f
±
≥ ± ∂

b. Write exercises corresponding to your s
f constructions and solve them using the
d sectors.
Adding fractions with equal denominators
Example
± # ≤ = ± ≤
∏ ∏ ∏ ∏

Take a few sectors of fractions with denominator 5, and write addition


exercises with results as follows: ‚
a. The result is smaller than 1

b. The result equals 1 s

c. The result is greater than 1

Adding fractions such that one denominator is a multiple of the other


Example
± # ± =
≤ ¥

How do we solve this exercise using sectors?

a. We arrange the sectors b. We cover ± with sectors of ± ±


± ≤ ¥ ¥
± ≤ ± ±
¥ ¥ ¥
c. We can describe what we did here
using mathematical language:111 # =
