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. Understanding Fractions:** Before we dive into addition and subtraction, let's ensure we have a solid understanding of fractions. A fraction consists of two parts: the numerator and the denominator. The numerator represents the number of parts we have, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole. For example, in the fraction **3/4**, the numerator is **3**, and the denominator is **4**. This means we have three
