The purpose of this task is to present students with a situation where it is natural to add fraction with unlike denominators; it can be used for either assessment or instructional purposes.

This Nrich activity is an unusual context in which pupils can consolidate recognizing, finding, naming and writing fractions. The rich environment also gives them the opportunity to identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually as a chain. Furthermore, learners will be adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominators and denominators which are multiples of the same number.

The purpose of this instructional task is to motivate a discussion about adding fractions and the meaning of the common denominator. The different parts of the task have students moving back and forth between the abstract representation of the fractions and the meaning of the fractions in the context.

In this activity, students will focus on subtracting fractions, starting with single-digit denominators and working up.

The purpose of this task is to help students realize there are different ways to add mixed numbers and is most appropriate for use in an instructional setting.
