Proper fractions The value of the numerator is
- Slides: 26
Proper fractions The value of the numerator is less than the value of the denominator. Proper in this case does not mean correct or best.
Improper fractions The value of the numerator is greater than or equal to the value of the denominator.
What do we mean by the term unit fraction?
Unit Fractions Unit fractions are fractions whose numerator is 1: 1 2 1 7 1 24 1 100 1 8
Operations with fractions • Addition • Subtraction • Multiplication • Division
Adding and subtracting fractions
1/2 + 1/3
Mixed numbers • Meaning of
Writing mixed numbers as improper fractions The algorithm that is taught in schools obscures the meaning. This is true for many algorithms, which are “efficient” ways of carrying out operations.
Write mixed number as improper fraction and vice versa
Multiplying fractions • Repeated addition model • Area model
Multiplication of fractions • Fraction as operator • The multiplication algorithm is best explained by the area model.
Use an area model to multiply 1/2 by 5/7
Multiply 2 1/3 by 1 5/6
Dividing fractions • Division of fractions is most easily understood as repeated subtraction.
11 divided by 1 1/2
Multiplicative Inverses • We know that division is the inverse of multiplication.
Multiplicative inverses • The multiplicative inverse of a is 1/a • The multiplicative inverse of a/b is b/a
Dividing fractions Because division is the inverse operation of multiplication, dividing a number by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying the number by the multiplicative inverse, called the reciprocal, of the fraction.
Exploration 5. 12 • “Drawn to scale” • Part 1 Use reasoning not algorithms to answer #1 • Part 2 Write justifications for the following: – #1: 3, 6, 8, 13, 16 – #2: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16
