Currently being taught in dc class.
Ds slightly confused in the lesson today so thought I'd go over it with him tonight.
Any Y5 teachers here? I've looked online and there are few different methods. I will speak to the teacher at some point but thought I'd ask here:-
E.g. 2/3 + 4/5
Multiply 3x5 to get 15
Then multiply numerator by opposite denominator
10/15 + 12/15 = 22/15
Ds can convert easily the improper fraction.
Is this the method you would have used?
