Non-Like Denominator Fractional Computations
Mathematics & Quantitative Reasoning
Your child can add and subtract fractions that possess different bottom numbers by identifying a common denominator first (e.g., computing 1/2 + 1/3).
In real life
Combining leftover ingredients, your child figures out that half a bag of rice plus a third of a bag makes five-sixths of a bag: enough for tonight's dinner, but not tomorrow's too.
