Text book page 214-216

Write each addition statement shown by pattern blocks. Estimate then add.

How to find answer: You look at the shape and see how much make up the whole. eg if I had a square and 4 pieces make up the whole 4 would be your whole. Then you look at how much are shaded in. Look at the other shape and see how much is shaded in. Next you make a fraction. The denominator would be the number of the whole and the numerator would be how much is shaded. You should have 2 fractions. Add the both of the fractions numerators. Don't add the denominators. Once you added both numerators the denominator should be the same. Now you got your answer.
