What is a fraction?
Fractions
 When an object
is divided into a
number of equal
parts then each
part is called a
fraction.
Fractions
 A fraction has a
numerator!
Which
say’s how many
parts in the fractions
Fractions
 A fraction also
has a
denominator!
which is
the whole.

Simplifying Fractions
Objective:
• Change fraction to lowest term.
A fraction is in its simplest
form if the greatest common
factor (GCF) of the numerator
and denominator is 1.

SIMPLEST FORM
• When the only common factor of the
numerator and denominator is 1, the
fraction is in simplest form, or it is reduced to
lowest terms.

4 ÷ 1 = 4
HOW TO SIMPLY A FRACTION
• Find the greatest common factor of

the numerator and the denominator
and divide both by that number.

Step 1 – Write down your original fraction.

10
Step 2 - Think of a number that both sides of the fraction can be

divided by without any remainders.
I.e. a number that both 5 & 10 can be divided by.
Step 3 – When you have thought of a number try it as follows. We

will try ‘5’.
5 5 = 1
10 5 = 2
Step 4 – The sum works out to ½ so this is your answer!

Adding and Subtracting
Dissimilar Fraction
Objective:
• Perform addition and subtraction of
dissimilar fractions
UNLIKE FRACTIONS
Unlike fractions have different denominators.
Adding or subtracting with unlike fractions isn’t that different from adding or
subtracting like fractions. You just have to find what their denominators have in
common.

Fractions that represent the same
value are equivalent fractions.
So are equivalent
fractions.

How much of a whole pizza did she eat in total?

How can we compare these fractions?
Can we add them?

We can’t add these fraction because we can’t
multiply 2 by anything to get 3.
Is Hannah right?

To add fractions they must have a
common denominator. We will need to change
both fractions.
