Fractions - Do I use Addition or Multiplication?
Mastering addition and multiplication with fractions
Some students get mired in the confusion of what function - addition? multiplication? - to use when they're dealing with fractions.
Once the confusion is identified, we investigate together to see how the confusion arises, then get to the root cause of the confusion. Then we apply simple but powerful laws of mathematics -
The Associative Laws
The Commutative Laws
The Distributive Law
that bring discipline and rigour to working through the solution.
