- Subtracting Fractions (PAGE 58-60)
- Test Friday
- Cooking show due (Tuesday November 17th)
- Watch the videos below to help you understand how to use fraction strips to visualize adding and subtracting fractions
- After watching ESTIMATE the sums and differences of the two fractions below. (REMEMBER TO USE BENCH MARKS of 1/4,1/2, 3/4 and 1 WHEN ESTIMATING)
- Use language such as a little less than.... a little more than... almost...
- EXAMPLE: 3/4 + 1/6 = The sum will be a little less than 1 because 1/6 is not quite 1/4 and if you have 3/4 you would need another 1/4 to make one whole
Estimate the sum or difference using bench marks. Explain you answer like in the example above:
2/5 + 2/3 =
7/8 - 1/2 =
