Chapter 4.4 Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions

Good Evening to all,

We are continuing on with adding and subtracting fractions.  The primary thing to remember is to........ have common denominators. Last lesson already provided these common denominators, so this step was done.  This lesson is making sure that you do that yourself.  So when adding, subtracting or even comparing fractions, COMMON DENOMINATORS are necessary most of the time.  So pay attention to the format( After all - I am the format queen!) in doing this step for fractions. 

 FRACTION RULES: 

+  or  - (comparing)

Common Denominators 

Add/Subtract  Numerators (NEGATIVE RULES)

You are Juggling 2 SETS of RULES!!

And awww.... Connor with his little kittie..........
