FRACTION ADDITION WAR
fractions · adding multiple fractions with unlike denominators
To add 2 or more fractions with unlike denominators
FRACTION ADDITION WAR is a Grade 5 game for adding multiple fractions with unlike denominators. Players work from a shared set of number cards, arrange them on the selected game board to create fractions, and try to produce the greatest possible sum. That makes each round part calculation and part strategy: students must consider how card placement changes denominators, equivalent fractions, and the final total.
Use it for small-group or partner work when students are ready to go beyond a single fixed fraction-addition problem. Comparing correct sums creates a natural reason to estimate and defend which total should be larger. A free Find a Math Game account lets you generate lesson support for FRACTION ADDITION WAR.
