Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

Description

This resource focuses on the concept of adding fractions with unlike denominators. It provides a step-by-step guide to successfully add these fractions, including finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD), rewriting fractions with this new denominator, adding the numerators, and simplifying the final result. It includes worked examples to illustrate the process, as well as a variety of guided and independent practice problems to reinforce understanding. Students are encouraged to show all steps in their calculations, ensuring they grasp the method for finding common denominators and effectively adding fractions in diverse contexts, including real-world applications.
