You wrote a good paragraph (actually two paragraphs!) about elapsed time. Here is my paragraph about adding fractions with unlike denominators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always remember that I can’t add thirds and fourths because they are different things, it would be like combining pineapples and oranges but not as delicious. When I add fractions, I get a common denominator by thinking what number is a product of both numbers. If I struggle, I skip count the larger number until I hear myself say a number that is a product of the smaller number (3, 6, 9, 12!<\/strong>). Because I have been adding fractions along time, I am comfortable writing one third times 4\/4 to get the fraction I need, 4\/12. I use this strategy on both fractions and then add the numerators so I can learn that one third plus one forth is seven twelfths. Give it a shot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
