Fraction addition to next whole

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

What number can we add to 4 sevenths to get 3?

Our answer is a whole number, so we need to add something to 4 sevenths to get it to the next whole number. 7 sevenths would be a whole, so we need to add 3 sevenths to our 4

If we're adding 3 sevenths, then that takes care of 1 of the wholes. With one taken care of by the fractions, we have 2 remaining.

So 2 and 3 sevenths, plus 4 sevenths, gives a sum of 3

This math skill teaches how to add fractions to reach the next whole number when given a fraction and a total sum. It involves determining the additional fraction needed to complete one whole from the given fraction and adjusting for any additional whole numbers needed.
