This math unit develops skills around advanced fraction addition and subtraction, especially focusing on problems involving fractions with different denominators. It starts with simpler fraction addition tasks, guiding students on how to set up and solve problems where two fractions have different denominators, progressing towards advanced simplification of answers. As the unit progresses, students also encounter subtraction problems requiring a similar approach of finding a common denominator, but with added complexity in terms of simplifying results and not simplifying results to enhance understanding. Furthermore, the unit evolves to dealing with missing values in equations, challenging students to determine the missing fraction to balance addition or subtraction equations. This applies to simple fractions and mixed fractions, progressively building problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of fraction operations with varied complexity and context.
