Add mixed numbers same denominators mixed answer (within and beyond)

The resource provided by Buzzard Publishing in 2019, as part of their CanDoFractions series, is aimed at teaching students how to add mixed numbers with the same denominators. This educational material is designed to enhance students' understanding of fractions and their ability to work with mixed numbers. The exercises involve adding mixed numbers that result in both mixed number answers and whole numbers, with some sums extending beyond whole numbers. The focus is on ensuring that students can handle addition within a range of complexity and are comfortable with the concept of carrying over to create whole numbers where necessary.

The exercises are structured to gradually build the students' skills, starting with simple additions and progressing to more challenging calculations. The tasks require students to add fractions where the whole number components and the fractional parts are combined separately, ensuring that the denominators remain the same throughout the process. By engaging with these activities, students become proficient in manipulating mixed numbers, understanding the importance of common denominators, and applying this knowledge to achieve accurate results. The CanDoFractions series provides a comprehensive approach to mastering fractions, catering to different levels of ability and understanding.
