Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza?
Can we say that there are 3 slices left?

Add and Subtract Fractions
Ex) At the end of the pizza lunch, Mr. Green’s class had 1/4 of a pizza left, and Mr. Black’s class had 2/3 of a pizza left. How can we describe the total amount of leftover pizza?
Can we say that there are 3 slices left? No, because that would ignore the fact that they are different sizes.
