Fraction Flowchart Decisions and Actions in evaluating fraction problems Graeme Henchel Decision: What is the operation? Decision: Are there Mixed Numbers? ACTION: Evaluate Whole numbers Decision: Are there common Denominators? Action: Find equivalent fractions Action: Add or Subtract the numerators Decision: Is the numerator negative? Action: Borrow a whole unit Action: Add any whole number part That’s All Folks Decision: Are there Mixed Numbers? Action: Change to improper fractions Decision: Is this a X or a ÷ problem? Action: Invert the 2nd Fraction and replace division ÷ with multiply x Decision : Is cancelling Possible? Do numbers in the numerators and the denominators have common factors Action Simplify by cancelling ACTION: Multiply the numerators AND the denominators Decision: Is the product improper (top heavy) Action: Change to a mixed Number That’s All Folks Credits * x,÷ What is the operation? + , - +, - For example is a mixed number YES Mixed Numbers? NO Evaluate the whole number part and keep aside till later 4+3=7 +, - For example and have the same (common) denominator YES Common Denominators? NO +, - Find equivalent fractions with common (the same) denominators Multiply by a special form of 1 Multiply by a special form of 1 +, - Add (or subtract) the numerators this is the number of parts 2+3=5 Keep the Common Denominator. This is the name of the fraction +, - YES Is numerator negative? NO This numerator is negative +, - Borrow 1 from the whole number part Write it as an equivalent fraction Add this to your negative fraction Remember to adjust your whole number total +, - +, - +, - x,÷ For example is a mixed number YES Mixed Numbers? NO OR 4X5=20 and 20+3=23 x,÷ x X or ÷ ? ÷ x,÷ Invert the 2nd fraction and multiply x,÷ Yes Common factors in numerators and denominators No x,÷ ÷ 3 ÷ 3 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 1 1 2 2 x,÷ x,÷ Yes Is the fraction improper ? (top heavy) No x,÷ x,÷ *
