Use the calculator to find the fraction that is exactly halfway between two other fractions.
Look for patterns to help understand how to find the answer without using the calculator.

This activity reinforces addition of common fractions and considers the result of dividing
common fractions by integers. By working on the activity, students should also develop an
increasing feel for the relative sizes of fractions.
