This math topic deals with the skill of fraction addition with problem simplification. It is at a basic level and involves situations where the fractions to be added have changed denominators. The learners are tasked to correctly set up fraction addition problems given two fractions with different denominators. The problems are both parts of a broader unit on advanced fraction addition and subtraction.
