Adding Improper Fractions Concepts

Kaeleigh introduces the concept of adding improper fractions, explaining that an improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator. She demonstrates the process of adding improper fractions by ensuring the denominators match and then adding the numerators. The lesson includes examples of adding fractions like 11/5 and 6/5, and 7/2 and 8/2, emphasizing that the result is also an improper fraction. The video concludes with encouragement to practice through online games and quizzes.
