Lesson 10

Warm-up Activity 1 Activity 2

Unit 6, Lesson 10

All Sorts of Denominators

Grade 5

Warm-up

How Many Do You See: Fraction Sum

How many do you see? How do you see them?

Two diagrams, both squares with length and width, 1. Each partitioned into 3 rows of 4 of the same size rectangles. On left, 8 rectangles shaded. On right, 3 rectangles shaded.

Activity 1

Different Denominators

Find the value of each expression. Show your thinking. Organize your work so it can be followed by others.

Activity 2

Multiply Denominators

Here is Lin’s strategy for finding the value of : “I know is a common denominator so I’ll use that.” Does Lin’s strategy for finding a common denominator work? Explain or show your reasoning. Then find the value of .
Find the value of each expression.

5.NF.1

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
