$Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles Pull out your fraction circles and sort them$

Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles Pull out your fraction circles and sort them by colors. The clear circle is the number 1 or 1 whole.

$Do the same with the fraction tiles. Sort them by color. 1$

Do the same with the fraction tiles. Sort them by color. 1

Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles or Fraction Tiles Let’s add Which colored circle or tile will you need to add these fractions? Explain. • Because the fraction has a denominator of 4, find the fraction piece that has been divided into fourths. • Take the ¼ piece and add to it the piece. + + = =

$Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles or Tiles Use either fraction circles or tiles$

Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles or Tiles Use either fraction circles or tiles to model Again, look at the denominator and choose your tiles accordingly. + =

$Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles or Tiles Use either fraction circles or tiles$

Adding Fractions – Using Fraction Circles or Tiles Use either fraction circles or tiles to model • Notice we do not have like denominators. This makes it more of a challenge. Begin by taking the ½ and the 1/3 and find tiles or circles that are exactly the same size. ½ • Did you find like tiles? Explain. • If you found tiles or parts of a circle that have a denominator of 6, you were correct. • Notice the ½ matches up with 3/6 and the 1/3 matches up with 2/6. Now we can add! ½
