Maths Activities: Learning Objective: I can add and subtract fractions with the same denominator Remember when adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator (bottom number), you must ONLY add or subtract the numerators (top numbers) and keep the denominator (bottom number) the same. 15 10 25 Example: + = I can simplify this further because 25 and 40 are both in the 5x 40 40 40 ퟓ table. So 25 divided by 5 = 5 and 40 divided by 5 = 8 so my final answer is ퟖ 36 12 1. − 40 40 19 26 2. + 50 50 Why not use the column method to add or subtract your 65 38 numerators! 3. − 70 70 37 18 4. − 80 80 579 183 5. + 3000 3000 6.
