Worksheet Description
The worksheet provides exercises for students to practice adding fractions with like denominators, with a clear instruction to not simplify the results. It features problems in sets of three, where each fraction has the same denominator within a given problem, and the sum is to be written in the space provided. The layout is simple and uncluttered, with enough space between problems to work comfortably.
The aim of this worksheet is to help students understand and practice the concept of adding fractions when the denominators are the same. It teaches that when fractions have like denominators, the numerators can be added directly while the common denominator remains the same. By instructing students not to simplify the fractions, the focus is placed solely on the process of addition. This allows students to concentrate on mastering one arithmetic operation with fractions before moving on to the additional step of simplification.
