            Terminology
  Like decimals, fractions represent parts of numbers.  A 
  fraction is usually a number that is between 0 and 1.
      Numerator - number on top
     Denominator - number on bottom

     with like denominators:
   • If the denominators are already the same, 
   then you’re ready to add or subtract.
   • Add or subtract the numerators. Keep the 
   denominators the same.
   • Simplify (reduce) the fraction, if possible.
   • If you end up with an improper fraction, 
   change it to a mixed number.
         Examples
         Examples
   1     2       3
      +      =
   5     5       5
     This answer cannot be 
     reduced any further.
   9      5 = 4 ÷ 2= 2
  14     14    14          7
  The GCF of 4 and 14 is 2, so we divide by 2 to 
  reduce.
    8     + 3            11
    9          9     = 9
   This is an improper fraction (the top is bigger than the 
   bottom), so we want to change it to a mixed number.
   To do this, divide the bottom into the top.
