Frac-Add Race

Frac-Add Race is a Grade 5 fraction game that combines adding fractions with comparing the resulting sum to 1. Players draw cards to build two fractions, find the sum, and then use whether that total is less than or greater than 1 to determine movement on the game board. That extra comparison step keeps students thinking about fraction magnitude as well as common denominators and equivalent fractions.

Use it for partner work or a small-group review when students need repeated practice adding fractions with like and unlike denominators. Because other players check each answer, the game naturally supports explanation and error checking. Create a free account to generate lesson support for Frac-Add Race.
