Content of the lesson plan

  The content of my lesson plan is all about Adding Similar fraction. First we must know what is Similar Fraction. Similar Fractions are fractions with the same denominators
examples: 1/9  2/9  5/9  7/9.
                                                                                 In Adding Similar Fractions.     
Example:
John walked 1/2 of a mile yesterday and 3/4 of a mile today. How many miles has John walked?

Solution

This word problem requires addition of fractions

Choosing a common denominator of 4, we get

1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4

So, John walked a total of 5/4 miles.
