CHAPTER: 6
WORKSHEETS: 8 and 9
EXTENSION: Worksheet 10
CHALLENGE: Have a go at some or all of the challenge questions below. Don’t forget to ask for help if you need it.

Adding Fractions…
When we add fractions, if the denominator (the bottom number) is the same, we don’t change it. In this question, both fractions have 7 as their denominator so we know our answer will have 7 as the denominator.
Now we can add the numerators (the top numbers)…
Now we need to write our answer as a mixed number because at the moment it is an improper fraction. That means that the numerator is larger than the denominator. We need to think about how many times 7 goes into 10 because we know 7/7 (seven sevenths) make 1 whole.
7 goes into 10 once so there is 1 whole and 3/7 left over.
Let’s look at one more example together…
This time, our denominator is 9
Our answer is 19/9
9 goes into 19 twice so there are 2 wholes and 1/9 (one ninth) left over.

Worksheets are done. Worksheet 10 was confusing , wouldn’t the “simplest form” be converting the fractions into whole numbers?
Hello Ajay!
I just had a look at worksheet 10, for some of the questions the answer is written as a mixed number in the simplest form but for some reason for question 2 they are not. I agree with you, the simplest form would usually be 1 2/3 rather than 5/3
I am sure you remember in class, sometimes the answers given by maths no problem answers are questionable! Thank you for letting me know!
I have done it and also the challenge. I am very proud of myself.
Well done Pablo! I am proud of you too!
Done
Well done Amarissa!
All Done Miss Lee!
Well done Raimundo!
Good morning miss Lee!
I have done all the challenges. That is why I am gonna tell you my answers.My answer to question 1 is….
Alex is incorrect because you NEVER add the denominators. I think there are 11 ways to add up to 11 ninths.
They are both correct because Teddy added up everything together and Mo did:
6/13 + 7/13 = 1 whole
1 whole + 5/13 = 1 whole and 5/13.
I haven’t checked the answers so I might be wrong.
I think they were kind of easy though (if I got them right).
I also have done the worksheets and tried the extension.
Thanks, Stella
