For the last couple of weeks we have been learning about fractions and I have learned a lot, I will start by telling you how to add fractions.
The first thing you need to know about is that to add fractions they need to have the same denominator, the denominator is the bottom number in a fraction, lets say that you have 1/2 and 2/3 you would multiply the 2 in 1/2 by 3 so you get 6 but also whatever you do to the bottom you also do to the top so you would also multiply the 1 in 1/2 by 3, if you figure that out then the answer is 3/6 and the for 2/3 you multiply the 3 by 2 and then you also multiply the 2 by 2, the answer to this is 4/6.
Now the final step is to add 3/6 and 4/6 together which equals 7/6, this is perfect way to tell you about improper fractions and mixed fractions, 7/6 is a improper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. To make this fraction proper you can turn it into a mixed fraction, a mixed fraction is when you attach a whole to a fraction so 7/6 would be 1 and 1/6.
