To add and subtract fractions of unlike denominators
FRACTION DOMINOES is a Grade 5 small-group game for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. Instead of matching identical values, players connect dominoes when a fraction on one tile and a fraction on another have a sum or difference equal to a whole number. Students therefore have to test relationships between fractions before deciding whether a tile can be played.
Use it when you want fraction operations to feel more like a relationship puzzle than a worksheet. Because players need to justify whether two tiles are related, the game supports mental estimation as well as exact calculation.
