Mathematics 6: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

This video tutorial covers the basics of fractions, including definitions and examples of numerators and denominators. It explains how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM) to simplify fractions. The tutorial also demonstrates converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and provides methods for adding and subtracting both similar and dissimilar fractions. The video concludes with a summary of the key steps in fraction operations.
