Standard Identifier: 5.NF.1
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade: 5
Domain: Number and Operations—Fractions

Cluster:
Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.

Standard:
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
