Answer: ⅓+⅓=⅔

2) Jim has finished one quarter of a jigsaw, and Alison has finished two quarters. How much have

6) + =

Answer: ½ + ½ = 2/2

7) The number problem for the first question is . Look at the number problems for all
the others and see if you can work out a way to add fractions. Write down your explanation as
if you were explaining how to add fractions to a friend who has not done this exercise. (4 points)

Answer: When we add these fractions what we do is add the top


numbers and don’t touch the bottom number. For example
4/17 + 7/17 = 4+7/17
= 11/17

8) Use your strategy to answer these fraction additions

(a) = ⅘

(b) = 4/8

(c) = 9/13

(d) = ¾

(e) = ⅞

(f) = 13/19

9) Copy and complete this sentence

In a fraction, the bottom number (the denominator) tells us how many pieces are in a whole,
while the top number (the numerator) tells us how many pieces we have. This is why when
we add fractions we only add the top numbers, as we want to know how many pieces we have
in total and already know how many pieces are in the whole thing. (4 points)
