FRACTION SCRABBLE

fractions · adding fractions with unlike denominators

To perform addition of fractions

FRACTION SCRABBLE is a Grade 5 game that combines word building with fraction addition. Players draw letter tiles, form English words, and calculate each word’s score by adding the fraction value assigned to its letters. A longer or more useful word is not automatically better—the arithmetic has to be correct for the score to count.

Use it for small-group or partner work when you want fraction addition in an unusual context that encourages repeated sums with unlike denominators. Opponents check the calculations, giving students a reason to show accurate work. Generate the lesson for FRACTION SCRABBLE with a free Find a Math Game account.
