5.NF.1 - Add and Subtract Fractions with Unlike Denominators (Singapore Math)

[@MrsCS]

You're video was great! Me and my son were looking for a video for hours but we found your video and you made it so clear THANK YOU!!!!!

[@dante9762]

I had homework late at night and looked at this video for help and i was done in 2 minutes. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH mathwithMrAlmeida!

[@Mellowe1968]

You are a genius. My son has a very hard time understanding math. When he watched this he got it immediately. ThankYou!

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

I appreciate the sentiment, but I just study a lot to make my videos the best they can be.

[@coolerthancool3152]

Thanks this was posted in like 2012 but i had a page to do with this thank you very much.

[@rambanares6527]

This made my homework so so much easier than having my teacher explain it I use to ask my classmates how to do this and this helped me thank you so so so so much

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

You are welcome, Bushra! Thank you for watching the videos to grow your understanding. I love the growth mindset that you have adopted. Keep it up.

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

Thank you Christine for your comments. I agree with you and will begin being consistent with the idea of multiplying by 1.

[@49ers591]

I'm in the process of getting my GED and ur video helped me a lot . Thank u.

[@mykidsexplorer6628]

Thankyou so much, I learned these methods now

[@CeCe73180]

Hello Mr. Almeida, I am a Math Coach in FL. I actually like to discuss with students that you are multiplying the fraction by 1 (a whole). Students always say they are multiplying by a whole number instead of 3/3 or 5/5. To me saying it is 1 reinforces the Identity Property - what happens when we multiple by one, our product stays the same! The direct modeling helps show the equivalent fraction but I also see it as another way to reinforce what we are doing! Great job -you are very inspiring!

[@vl0od_succa]

Thank you so much you made me under stand this better than my teacher

[@vedi18]

Thank you, was struggling to teach my daughter this since I grew up learning this very differently and not through diagrams!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alisajenkins3013]

I fell asleep in class. This was related to my homework so I just decided to watch it.

[@TheSheen33]

Hey Mr Almeida , It's Bushra on my brother's account , I just wanted to let me know that these videos really help me understand math better :D Thanks for making them! (:

[@FelipedeSouza]

Thanks! Loved your way of explaining it!!!

[@rosieakatrash1219]

Thanks for helping I was struggling in my homework and you made it easier for me thanks.:-)

[@sushaunialowe3812]

In fact it to www

[@er1chawk]

Wonderful! Great explanation for young students!

[@skinnycatlover]

Mr. Almeida, I am student teaching this semester and I have just started teaching fractions. I am using the number line method but some of my students seem confused. I think this will help clarify some misunderstandings. Thank you.

[@christiansandoval4247]

Thanks I have a treat tommorrow thanks 🙏.

Thx I needed this🙃

[@cantbeanelegbede]

Another Awesome lesson!

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

You're welcome, Laila! Please write in complete sentences in the future.

[@SenorMorgenStern]

Funny, that idea of having like denominators being like having the same units is how I articulate or explain adding fractions or combining like terms in a polynomial. I like this approach taken in the video. Does it resonate with the fifth graders?

[@learnnobservewithaliza8721]

Very well explanation sir

[@philippafelder4275]

@MathwithMrAlmeida what app is this because I what to use it for my math for school and I cant seem to find it on the net

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

I use Camtasia to record the videos. I am using SMART Notebook software to draw on my computer along with a Bamboo pen pad.

[@lauraorosco5031]

I am also a zamfam amd a GMN

[@Ilianie-f4p]

Thank you so much for helping.

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

Yes, it does resonate with fifth graders.

[@nicolefoster2253]

MathwithMrAlmeida it really helped my son

[@copycat042]

Your explanation is very clear, but it seems like this method is much more complicated and time consuming than just multiplying denominators and then multiplying across. ( 3x5=15 2x5=10 1x3 =3 10/15 + 3/15 = 13/15)

[@fatimaperez4875]

I love your explanations. You make math make sense. Thanks so much for this video

[@brycebarber3245]

very helpful

[@shadowfoxgamer6077]

thx for this good info

[@lakshmiks356]

well explained

[@jennymesa1807]

Thank you so much

[@Transportsg1]

U are good at it

[@hannahunderhill6915]

This helped me so much! math is honestly the hardest subject! like if u agree!

[@almightysmite]

Thx

[@49ers591]

Ur fuckin awesome ! Such an easy way to learn fractions .

[@sirjax1857]

Thanks!

[@kayleedawkins999]

Okay

[@cheriomey]

This vid makes me want to kms

[@haydenlyons3615]

Ok

[@cheriomey]

thank you, pls respond to me i love math

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

Justin, keep practicing math!

[@cheriomey]

thanks, mr.almeida can you do one video on fractions to decimals calculations?

[@nayshawngoodman9709]

Hi

[@hughquigley496]

Cats and dogs are animals but more sepificly PETS!

[@Axizi]

You could've just multiplied the denominator

[@MathwithMrAlmeida]

But do you know why we are doing that? How would a fifth grader be able to know this is true? This conceptual understanding will helps students to have better number sense to tell whether calculations are reasonable or not. This is different from the way that you may have learned, but it develops more of a conceptual understanding.

[@rosieakatrash1219]

Thanks for helping I was struggling in my homework and you made it easier for me thanks.:-)

[@aspacetoaster]
