SOW GROW game to practice
'Add fractions using LCD' for 6th grade

Adding fractions with different denominators

Add fractions using lowest common denominator (LCD)

Fractions with different denominators can be added by changing the fractions so that they share a common denominator.

Given the sum:

1/3 + 1/2

you do this by first finding the Lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of both fractions.

The LCM is the smallest multiple shared by a set of numbers. For instance, some shared multiples of 2 and 3 are 6, 12 and 18, and the LCM is the smallest of those numbers which is 6. The LCM of 2 and 5 is 10 since 10 is the smallest multiple shared by 2 and 5.

Rewrite both fractions to use that LCM by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. So, to convert 1/3 to have a denominator of 6, multiply both top and bottom by 2, giving 2/6.

Adding fractions with the same denominators

Once you have converted both fractions so that they share the same denominator, you can add the fractions by adding the numerators.

1/3 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6

With our Sow grow math game you will be practicing the topic "Add fractions using LCD" from 6th grade / Number / Fractions / Fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to add fractions by finding the lowest common denominator (LCD); simplify your answers where possible.

Sections

5 sub categories:
  1. Fraction basics
  2. Add fractions
  3. Subtract fractions
  4. Multiply fractions
  5. Divide fractions

In Year 7 in the UK, students typically continue to build upon their understanding of fractions, which they started developing in earlier grades. Here's an overview of key concepts related to fractions that are commonly taught in Year 7:

  1. Understanding Fractions: Students learn that fractions represent parts of a whole or a group. They understand that a fraction consists of a numerator (the number above the fraction line) and a denominator (the number below the fraction line). The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.

  2. Equivalent Fractions: Students explore equivalent fractions, which are different fractions that represent the same value. They learn that equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, and so on.

  3. Comparing and Ordering Fractions: Students learn to compare fractions and order them from least to greatest or greatest to least. They understand that when fractions have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is greater. When fractions have different denominators, they convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator to compare.

  4. Adding and Subtracting Fractions: Students begin to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (for example, 1/4 + 2/4). They also learn to add or subtract fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator and then adjusting the numerators accordingly.

  5. Multiplying and Dividing Fractions: Students explore multiplication and division of fractions. They learn to multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. For division, they learn to invert the second fraction and multiply. For example, to divide 1/4 by 1/2, you multiply by the reciprocal, which is 2/1.

  6. Fractions in Real-Life Contexts: Students apply their understanding of fractions to real-life situations, such as measurements, recipes, and problem-solving scenarios. They learn to interpret and solve word problems involving fractions.

Match math questions to the right answer to grow flowers...relaxed game with nice outcome

Large thumbnail for math game Sow grow

Sow grow is a gentle game that concentrates on your ability to answer math questions. The game itself is very simple to play and does not require manual dexterity or fast reaction times. You are growing sunflowers in pots on a window sill. When you answer questions correctly you get to pick a sunflower to put in the vase. When the vase is full, you have completed the game.

Notes

  1. Sow grow is a one player game to learn or revise math.
  2. Sow grow is a timed game - play a few times, set a personal best time and try to get on the leaderboard!
  3. It is best to go through the sample questions in the topic lesson before you attempt this game.
