Mastering Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

Mr. G teaches how to add and subtract fractions with common denominators. He explains the concept of denominators and numerators, emphasizing that the denominator remains unchanged during addition or subtraction. Using pizza slices as a visual aid, he demonstrates the process of combining and separating fractions. The video encourages practice and reassures students of their ability to learn.
