This math unit starts by strengthening the learner's foundational skills in finding the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) before proceeding to the addition of fractions, where students learn to handle varying degrees of complexity including changed denominators and simplifying answers. The unit then transitions into subtraction of fractions with a similar structure: dealing with problem simplification, unchanged and changed denominators, and not simplifying answers. Next, learners will be exposed to problems with missing values in both addition and subtraction of fractions. Finally, the unit concludes with more advanced exercises on fraction addition to the next whole. Throughout the unit, learners' problem-solving skills are developed, preparing them for more advanced arithmetic operations.
