On a Roll with Fractions

fractions · adding fractions with like denominators and converting improper fractions

On a Roll with Fractions is a Grade 4 partner game for adding fractions with like denominators and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. One die roll sets the common denominator, then each player rolls five numerators, adds the fractions, and converts the total. Because both players share the denominator but generate different numerators, every round produces comparable but unique fraction work.

Use it for partner review when students are comfortable adding like-denominator fractions and are beginning to connect improper fractions with mixed numbers. Checking one another’s work also gives students a reason to explain how the conversion was made.
