Fractions can be fun!

I hope everyone is having a great exam week, or work week, or just a great week in general! I decided to share a fun idea that I saw recently that I really liked. While volunteering at Farwell Middle School, I saw this poster in one of the classrooms. The poster shows a demonstration for adding fractions. It says: "Only when the bottoms are the same can you add or subtract. It then shows that since there are jeans on the bottom, and since they're the same, you can add the tops. The first shirt is yellow, the second is white with polka dots, so adding them gives you the third which is yellow with polka dots. 

I really liked this visual to help students to learn! I hope that you find this creative and helpful as well!

Enjoy!
