FRACTION RUSH
fractions · adding fractions with unlike denominators and simplifying
To add fractions with unlike denominators [5.NF.A.1].
FRACTION RUSH is a Grade 5 partner game for adding fractions with unlike denominators and simplifying the result. Both players reveal a fraction card, add the pair, and race to produce a correct answer in lowest terms. A wrong first answer gives the other player a chance to steal, so speed only helps when the calculation is accurate.
Use it as a short partner review once students already understand common denominators and need fluency practice. The steal rule gives each player a reason to keep solving even after the other person finishes first. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate lesson support for FRACTION RUSH.
