Adding and Subtracting Fractions

How much of this pie would you like? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the concept of adding and subtracting fractions. Find out what one part of a whole looks like, and what happens if you cut that part down the middle. You’ll also learn about the two parts of a fraction - the numerator and the denominator - as well as how to tell them apart. Plus, discover what a common denominator is and how to add fractions when their denominators are different. Finally, you’ll learn how to reverse the operation and this time subtract fractions. Hey, give that piece of pie back!
