5th Grade Math 6.7, Subtract Mixed Numbers with Renaming

We can use renaming to find the difference of two mixed numbers. First, we write equivalent fractions using a common denominator. Next, we use multiplication and addition to rename each mixed number as a fraction greater than 1. Then we subtract the fractions and write the difference in simplest form. By writing the mixed numbers as equivalent fractions first, it will determine if we need to use renaming. We look at the numerator of each fraction. If the numerator of the minuend is less than the numerator of the subtrahend, we need to use renaming. When the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction is equal to 1 whole. We make sure our difference is in simplest form, when 1 is the only common factor for the numerator and denominator. We can also subtract by renaming both mixed numbers as fractions greater than one. We can quickly rename mixed numbers as fractions greater than 1 but using multiplication, addition, and mental math. We multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add that product to the numerator, and use the given denominator. We can estimate our difference first to make sure the difference we get is reasonable. Fractions greater than 1 are often called improper fractions. We solve several examples subtracting mixed numbers with renaming. We solve a detailed word problem by summarizing the problem first. 5th Grade Math 6.1, Model Addition with Unlike Denominators https://youtu.be/Q1OjpdrFkNk 5th Grade Math 6.2, Model Subtraction with Unlike Denominators https://youtu.be/dtGI9E5_0_o 5th Grade Math 6.3, Estimate Fraction Sums & Differences https://youtu.be/drd04YDEroM 5th Grade Math 6.4, Common Denominators & Equivalent Fractions https://youtu.be/WeJrLu2Iups 5th Grade Math 6.5, Add & Subtract Fractions with Unlike Denominators https://youtu.be/7XpwRfsQjro 5th Grade Math 6.6, Add & Subtract Mixed Numbers with Unlike Denominators https://youtu.be/iv4WiRUBTjw 5th Grade Math Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKi4WTp6PRGX8NtQpzliTlMceQT1ua24f I'm using the Houghton Mifflin Go Math! 2015 copyright textbook for this playlist.
