Understanding and Mastering Fraction Addition and Subtraction BY: PJ MIANA Fractions are an essential part of mathematics, and they play a crucial role in everyday life. They allow us to express parts of a whole and make calculations involving portions of objects, quantities, or measurements. Adding and subtracting fractions are fundamental skills that every grade 6 student should master. In this article, we will break down the process of adding and subtracting fractions into simple steps to help you excel in these operations. **1.
