Description

Included in this product is a FREE mini anchor chart for using the fraction butterfly (aka cross multiplying) to:
1. compare fractions with different denominators,
2. find a pair of equivalent fractions with a common denominator, and
3. add & subtract fractions with different denominators.

If you like this freebie, please check out my Fraction Butterfly Interactive Notebook Pages & Task Cards product on TpT.

The fraction butterfly provides a visual way to remember the strategy for adding & subtracting fractions in the CCSS 5.NF.A.1 (a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd), but also can be used to compare fractions and find a pair of equivalent fractions with a common denominator – part of the CCSS 4.NF.A.2.

Thank you!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)
