Fraction Forge6-8 · The add-1-to-top-and-bottom trap
Ready

This is a simulation, not a quiz. You answer by trying things and watching what happens.

Our question

Does adding 1 to the top and bottom keep a fraction the same?

Getting the simulation ready…

  1. 1Build or change something
  2. 2Say what will happen, then run it
  3. 3Finish: say what you found
What counts as evidence
  • The shaded edge before and after adding to both parts.
  • The edge jumps, so the value changed.
  • A conclusion must address the Fraction Forge question.
