Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When subtracting mixed fractions using regrouping, you must borrow 1 from the whole number and rewrite it as a fraction with the same denominator.
- •
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator.
- •
When subtracting mixed fractions, both regrouping and converting to improper fractions will give you the same answer, so choose the method you find easiest.
