Your learners will enjoy playing a game as a motivator to learning and remembering the adding and subtracting of fractions.

Students add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They "fish" for and solve a number of fraction problems requiring adding, subtracting, finding equivalent fractions, and using mixed numbers.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Fourth graders develop a conceptual understanding of fractions and begin to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Included is a worksheet to assess readiness and a teacher's checklist showing class understanding at a...
