    VISUALIZATION OF ADDITION OF DISSIMILAR FRACTIONS-Edited

    Uploaded by

    Prince Zuko
    This document discusses visualizing the addition of dissimilar fractions through examples and practice problems. It explains that when adding dissimilar fractions, we first find a common denominator and convert the fractions to similar fractions before adding. Students are shown models and illustrations to demonstrate how to add fractions with different denominators. Practice problems are provided for students to add dissimilar fractions on their own using the visualization technique.
