Easy and Hard

What makes fractions hard is when you subtract them,add them, and when they are improper fractions.

It's usually easier to divide fractions on a circle.

1/16 1/8 1/16 1/4

1/2

Fraction booklet Equivalent fractions: An equivalent fractions is a fraction that is equal to a simple fraction for example 3/9 is equal to 1/3 because 9 divided by 3 is 3 so 3/9 equals 1/3. A trick to find an equivalent fraction is to divide the numerator and denominator.

Mixed number:

Improper fraction: An improper fraction is a fraction with the numerator bigger than the denominator. An improper fraction is equal to a mixed number, an example is 20/5 is equal to 4 wholes.

A mixed number is when there's a fraction with a whole, an example is 6 2/3 which means six wholes and two thirds.

Adding Fractions: When you add fractions you add the numerator of one fraction to the numerator of the other fraction you are adding. When your sum is a improper fraction you just convert it to a mixed number or a simple fraction.(use equivalent fractions)
