Philippine National School For The Blind

The document provides teaching materials on adding fractions with unlike denominators. It explains that to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator so that the fractions have the same denominator. It then demonstrates how to find the common denominator by finding the least common multiple of the denominators. Finally, it shows examples of adding fractions with unlike denominators by first converting them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.

DISSIMILAR FRACTIONS
NOTE:

 Use this presentation to teach the steps for


adding and subtracting fractions with unlike
denominators.

 It is assumed that students have a thorough


understanding of the process for making
equivalent fractions.

The first number IN COMMON


that appears on both lists
becomes the common denominator
The new denominator

1 3 would be 6
Then divide 6 by to 2

then multiply with 1.
6 6/2x1=3

6/3x1=2
