6th grade Q1

Creating your own problems with fraction addition is a fun way to practice math! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you come up with your own fraction addition problems:

Step 1: Choose your fractions
Start by picking two fractions you want to add.

 
Step 2: Set up a story
Imagine you and your friend are sharing pizzas. You ate $\frac{2}{3}$ of a pizza, and your friend ate $\frac{3}{5}$ of another pizza. How much did you eat altogether?


Step 3: Write down your problem
Now, write your problem clearly. Include the fractions you chose and your story. For example:

It can be helpful to add a picture to make the problem easier to understand.

   
Step 4: Solve the problem
Before you give your problem to someone else, make sure you know the answer. If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, adjust the fractions, add them up, and simplify if possible. Show all your steps so you can explain it later!
