Ahhhh! The Mixed Numbers!

You'll see posted below pictures of notes from today... all about adding and subtracting mixed numbers.  As if just finding a common denominator wasn't hard enough, now we have to worry about those pesky whole numbers... AND what about borrowing from the whole number when subtracting mixed fractions/numbers?  Hm?

So yes, today was quite the journey!  No immediate work or practice on these skills, however.  Tonight's homework comes from #35 -- a packet of mixed to improper, reducing, and simple adding and subtracting fractions.  Homework is the last page, #s 9-16.
