Adding and Subtracting Fractions Main

1) The document outlines a lesson on adding and subtracting fractions. It includes 3 levels of tasks of increasing difficulty from bronze to gold. 2) Students must learn to add and subtract fractions with a common denominator, should learn to do so with different denominators requiring one change, and could learn to do so requiring two changes. 3) The lesson introduces fractions and adding fractions with a common denominator before examples adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and finding the lowest common multiple. Mini-whiteboard exercises and a plenary activity reinforce the content.

Adding and
subtracting fractions
Objective: I should be able to add and subtract
fractions. (L5-6/Grades E-D)
Keywords: numerator, denominator, simplify, equivalent
By the end of the lesson:
Must learn: to add and subtract fractions with a
common denominator. (5c/E-)
Should learn: to add and subtract fractions with
different denominators. (one change) (5a/E+)
Could learn: to add and subtract fractions with
different denominators.(two change) (6c/D-)
Real life link: You might need to add or subtract
distances involving fractions.
Must learn: to add and subtract fractions
with a common denominator. (5c/E-)
