Divisibility Rule For 3

Textbook number 5

Write each addition statement shown by the fraction strips. Estimate the answer, and then add.

a. 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

b. 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

c. 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4














Adding Fractions with Like Denominators















You could simplify them. 4/9 + 2/9 = 6/9 or 2/3 <--(Simplified)


The denominators stay the same. Only the numerator adds.

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4



Eg. 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3



3/8 + 5/8 = 8/8 or 1

The Divisibility rule for 8

- All numbers that are divisible by 2, three times
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
eg. 24÷2 = 12, 12÷2 = 6, 6÷2 = 3
- 24 is divisible by 8
