A useful approach
- Check that a shape is split into equal parts before writing a fraction of it.
- For a fraction of an amount, divide by the denominator and multiply by the numerator.
- For addition or subtraction, use a common denominator. For multiplication, multiply the numerators and denominators, then simplify.
A mistake to watch for
Adding denominators changes the size of the parts. First express both fractions using the same-sized parts.
