Fraction Trails (Easy)

Fraction Trails (Easy) is a Grade 6 path puzzle for adding positive and negative fractions. Players trace a horizontal-and-vertical route across a 5-by-5 board, beginning on a yellow square and ending on a red square. The fractions along the path must add to the value on the ending square, so students have to calculate while also deciding which route can work.

Use it for partner or small-group problem solving when you want fraction addition and rational-number reasoning wrapped into a spatial puzzle. Students can compare different valid trails and explain how they checked each sum. Create a free Find a Math Game account to generate lesson support for Fraction Trails (Easy).
