9. Introduction to the Topic How do I simplify a fraction? – 5/10 = 1/2 What are the common factors of 5 and 10? Both 5 and 10 have the common factor 5 Take the numerator and divide by 5 Take the denominator and divide by 5 You now have your simplified answer

10. Practice Slides Name this fraction:

11. Practice Slides (answers) Name this fraction: One1/21/4

12. Practice Slides Use your pen tool to draw me 1/2 of a cake Use your pen tool to show me 3/4 of a pizza

13. Practice Slides Adding fractions – When adding fractions you add fractions with a like denominator – Ex) 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 which is 1 – Add 3/4 + 1/4 – Add 4/10 + 5/10

14. Practice Slides (answers) Adding fractions – When adding fractions you add fractions with a like denominator – Ex) 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 which is 1 – Add 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 which is 1 – Add 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10

15. Practice Slides Arrange the fractions in order from smallest to largest – 1/2, 1, 1/4, 3/4, 1/3
