🧮 Part 1: Introduction to Adding Fractions

Kia ora! Today we're learning to combine fractions (panga) with like denominators.

Remember: When fractions have the same denominator (raro nama), we add the numerators (runga nama) and keep the denominator the same.

Example: 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8

a) 1/4 + 2/4 = _____

b) 3/7 + 2/7 = _____

c) 2/10 + 5/10 = _____

d) 1/6 + 3/6 = _____

📏 Part 2: Visual Fraction Wall and Number Line Exercises

a) 1/8 + 3/8 = _____

b) 2/6 + 1/6 = _____

c) 4/12 + 5/12 = _____

a) 1/5 + 2/5

b) 3/10 + 4/10

🔢 Part 3: Finding Common Denominators

a) 1/2 + 1/4

First, change 1/2 to fourths: 1/2 = ___/4

Now add: ___/4 + 1/4 = ___/4

b) 1/3 + 1/6

First, change 1/3 to sixths: 1/3 = ___/6

Now add: ___/6 + 1/6 = ___/6

a) 2/5 + 1/10 = _____

b) 3/4 + 1/8 = _____

c) 1/2 + 2/6 = _____

🍞 Part 4: Real-life Application Problems

a) At the marae, Aroha ate 2/8 of a rewena bread and Tane ate 3/8 of the same bread. What fraction of the bread did they eat altogether?

b) During lunch, the class shared a large pizza. Group 1 ate 3/12 of the pizza and Group 2 ate 4/12. How much pizza was eaten in total?

c) Koro is making hangi. He used 1/4 of his kumara in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon. What fraction of kumara did he use altogether? (Hint: Find a common denominator first!)

A wharenui needs painting. On Monday, 2/10 of the wall was painted. On Tuesday, 3/10 more was completed. What fraction of the wall is now painted?
