Abstract
Here is an account of a class in which this problem was
tackled by students who had understood the need/reason
for fractions to be of the same size i.e., to have the same
denominators so as to be able to add them easily. However,
they had not yet arrived at any particular method to achieve
this. This account is written by Rupesh Gesota, an engineer-
turned-school-maths teacher. Check the 'Teacher's Blog'
sub-page of the website www.supportmentor.weebly.com
- in which this account. was first published- to know more
about his adventures in teaching math. Given below is the
description of the class in Rupesh’s words.
