How to play:
- Choose two fractions from below and add them together (remember you need a common denominator before you can!)
-Once you have the common denominator then add the numerators. (If your answer turns out to be an improper fraction - it is ok, leave it that way for this game!) Ie: 5/8 + 3/4 = 11/8 not 1 and 3/8.
-Once one player chooses two fractions to add together, the other player then can only move one of the fractions to create their next answer.
-Players MUST move one fraction each turn.
-You CAN put the paper clips on the same fraction to add them together, (ie: 1/3 + 1/3)
- Have fun and you are not only practicing how to add fractions BUT also how to reduce them, multiply and divide them, as well as the strategies needed to block your opponent and keep them from winning.
- This is one of my FAVOURITE games ever in grade 7 - enjoy!
