I. Introduction
The meaning of fraction according to math experts
1. www.splashlearn.com – fractions represents equal parts of a whole or collection or group.
2. e.m.wikipedia.org – fractions represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number
of equal parts.
3. www.mathisfun.com – fraction is a part of a whole .
4. www.ducksters,com – a fraction represents part of a whole . When something is broken up
into number of parts, the fraction show how many of those parts you have.
5. www.britanica.com – fraction, in arithmetic, a number expressed as a quotient, in which
the numerator is divided by the denominator.

IV. Discussion
First, let us have a short review on the kinds of fractions.
1. Similar Fractions – are fractions whose denominators are the same.
3 1 4
Examples 1.) , and are similar fractions because their denominator is 4.
5 5 5
2.) 4 , 7 and 8are similar fractions because their denominator is 9.
9 9 9
3.) 5 , 6and 3are similar fractions because their denominator is 7.
7 7 7
4.) 6 , 2 and 10
are similar fractions because their denominator is 11.
11 11 11
2. Dissimilar Fractions – are fractions whose denominators are different.
Examples 1.) 2, 3and 5 dissimilar fractions because they have different denominators.
are
6 4 7
2.) 5 , 2 and 7are dissimilar fractions because they have different denominators.
8 4 10
3.) 4 , 1 and 4are dissimilar fractions because they have different denominators,
5 2 7
4.) 10 , 8 and 5are dissimilar fractions because they have different denominators,
15 12 8
We have already learned that fractions with the same denominators are similar fractions.
Similar fractions are easy to add or subtract. When we add or subtract similar fractions, simply
add or subtract the numerators and copy the common denominator. Then simplify the
resulting figure if necessary.

B. ADDITION and SUBTRACTION OF DISSIMILAR FRACTIONS
To add or subtract dissimilar fractions, the first thing to do is to find equivalent fractions with the same
denominators.
1. Find the smallest multiple (LCM) of both numbers.
2. Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCM as denominators.
3. Perform the operation then reduce the answer in its lowest term if applicable.
Examples: Finding equivalent fractions with the same denominators.
1. 2 and 3 LCM of 3 and 4 is 12 and8 9
3 4 12 12
2. 1 and 2 LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 and3 4

To add or subtract fractions, there are only three ( 3 ) simple steps.
1. Make sure that the bottom number (the denominators) are the same.
2. Add/Subtract the top numbers (the numerators) and put the answer over the denominator.
3. Simplify the fraction if needed.
