LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. add similar and dissimilar fractions, and mixed
numbers;
2. subtract similar and dissimilar fractions, and mixed
numbers;
3. multiply fraction by another fraction, whole number,
and mixed number; and
4. divide fractions by another fraction, whole numbers by
fractions, and mixed numbers by mixed numbers.
ADDITION OF FRACTIONS
Similar Fractions
add the numerators and retain the denominator
reduce fractions to lowest terms
ADDITION OF FRACTIONS
Dissimilar Fractions
convert dissimilar fractions to similar (using
LCD)
perform addition of similar fractions
ADDITION OF FRACTIONS
Mixed Numbers
add the whole numbers, then add fractional
parts

or change into improper fractions then add

 SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONS

Similar Fractions
subtract the numerators and copy the denominator
reduce fractions to lowest terms
SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONS
Dissimilar Fractions
convert dissimilar fractions to similar (using
LCD)
perform subtraction of similar fractions
