You cannot add or subtract fractions until they have the same ___________.
denominator
When subtracting two neighboring terms, does it matter which number goes on top? Explain.
YES! The bigger number always goes on top when subtracting.
If there's more on the ___________ you go ______________ to get more.
floor; nextdoor
Ken bought 3 3/4 pounds of apples at the farmers’ market. Abby bought 2 1/8 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples did Ken and Abby buy?
5 7/8 pounds of apples
When you multiply by a number greater than 1, the product will be __________ than the other factor.
greater than
When you multiply by a number less than 1, the product will be less than_______ _________ _________.
the other factor
1/8 + 5/6 + 1/6
Use the associative property to group the numbers we should add first. Be careful to only use the associative property- no other property.
1/8 + (5/6 + 1/6)
Regroup 5 3/24
4 27/24
Regina bought fruit for her family. She bought 3 1/2 pounds of oranges and 4 3/4 pounds of apples. How much fruit did she buy in all?

3/4 and 12/16 are _________________ fractions.
equivalent
DAILY DOUBLE! Wager as many points as you would like!
5/7 + ( 2/9 + 4/7) = 5/7 + (4/7 + 2/9)
What property was used here?
commutative
7 2/3 - 6 5/8
Does this expression require regrouping/renaming?
NOPE! I know this because I created equivalent fractions before I determined if I had to regroup or not. Ms. Cyr's laser eyes engrained this idea into my soul. Now I'll never forget. It would be 7 16/24- 6 15/24 (Pride point to anyone who got this right -for being a good listener!)
Horatio sanded a dresser for 1 1/ 4 hours. Then he stained the dresser for 2 1/3 hours.
True of false? Horatio spent 1 1/6 hours longer staining the dresser than sanding it. (If false, please state how much more time he did spend.)
False! He only spent 1 1/2 hours longer staining than sanding.
What happens when you multiply by a number equal to 1?
The product will be equal to the other factor.
The commutative property tells us that we can change the order of addends (flip flop) and it doesn't affect the outcome of our answer. The associative property tells us that we can group addends using ___________ (indicating to add them _____).
parentheses; first
14 3/10, 13 4/5, 13 3/10,_______ , 12 3/10
What is the rule of this sequence?
subtract 1/2
5 - 2 7/8 =
2 1/8
Horatio sanded a dresser for 1 1/ 4 hours. Then he stained the dresser for 2 1/3 hours.
True or false? The amount of time spent sanding the dresser can be rewritten as 1 3/12 hours.
True! 1/4 is equivalent to 3/12!
15/8 x 1/3 ____ 1/3

To create equivalent fractions you multiply the _____________ and _____________ by the same number.
numerator and denominator

What is the missing term of this sequence?
