  1. Adding Fractions and Mixed Numbers Step 1: find the smallest common denominator Step 2: make equivalent fractions using the common denominator Step 3: add the numerators Step 4: add whole numbers Step 5: keep the denominators the same Step 6: put into simplest form

  2. Subtracting Fractions Step 1: find the smallest common denominator Step 2: make equivalent fractions using the common denominator Step 3: subtract the numerators Step 4: keep the denominators the same Step 5: put into simplest form

  3. Subtracting Mixed Numbers Step 1: find the smallest common denominator Step 2: make equivalent fractions using the common denominator Step 3: if the first numerator is smaller then the second numerator borrow from the whole number Step 4: remember the magic of 1 Step 5: subtract the numerators Step 6: keep the denominators the same Step 7: subtract the whole numbers Step 8: put into simplest form

  4. Multiplying Fractions Step 1: cross cancel Step 2: multiply the numerators Step 3: multiply the denominators Step 4: change improper fractions into mixed numbers Step 5: put into simplest form

  5. Multiplying Mixed Numbers Step 1: change mixed numbers into improper fractions Step 2: cross cancel Step 3: multiply the numerators Step 4: multiply the denominators Step 5: change improper fractions into mixed numbers Step 6: put into simplest form

  6. Dividing Mixed Numbers Step 1: change mixed numbers into improper fractions Step 2: leave the first fraction alone Step 3: use the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip it over) Step 4: cross cancel Step 5: multiply the numerators Step 6: multiply the denominators Step 7: change improper fractions into mixed numbers Step 8: put into simplest form
