Adding Mixed Number Fractions with Different Denominators Using Area Models

This video explains how to add mixed number fractions with different denominators using area models. The students learn that they need to find a common denominator before adding the fractions, and they are guided through the process of creating equivalent fractions to make the denominators the same. The teacher emphasizes the importance of adding the whole numbers separately and only adding the numerators, and provides examples to illustrate the concept.
