During this time, please get creative! Create lots of art work and share. Remember

Arithmetic: Adding and subtracting fractions

Remember if the bottom number is the same, you do not need to change it. If you can,

simplify the fractions. Eg. 2/10 both numbers can be divided by 2 which gives you 1/5.

The denominators are not the same in these questions, you need to get them to say the

same by multiplying. Remember whatever you do to the bottom, you do to the top.

First question: Denominator: 3x2= 6 = 4/6+1/6= 5/6

Numerator: 2x2- 4
