Check out this video on adding and subtracting fractions. When you are working on these, remember back to September when we were working on lowest common multiples. They are important now for helping to find common denominators.
What steps do you need to follow when you need to add fractions with different denominators? List and give an example of them.

Fractions - Comparing and Ordering and review of Multiplying by a Whole
This video has a review of what we worked on in class on Friday - multiplying fractions by a whole number. Pay attention to his trick for figuring out if a fraction is 'proper' or 'improper.' Kind of a funny way to think about fractions.
Can you think of a time when this example might not apply?
Here are some videos to help you with:
understanding fractional pieces (watch this first) and comparing and ordering fractions.
Here is another option for a way to compare fractions using decimals (great if you want to check your work with a calculator).
What can you say about several fractions with the same numerator but different denominators?
What can you say about several fractions with the same denominator but different numerators?
Which way do you prefer to use to compare and order fractions?

Here is a video for comparing fractions using common denominators.
Could you use this same method to compare fractions using a common numerator instead? How would that have a different impact on the question?
