The Fraction Wall Game: Adding Fractions
Goal
The goal is for students to play a game that offers experience with different fractions that
make up a whole, and to solve some problems exploring aspects of addition of fractions.
Two players need
- a normal six sided die
- a wooden die labelled */2, */3, */4, */6, */8, */12.
- each player (or team) has a board like:
Players in turn throw both dice. They make a fraction, the wooden die being the numerator. Each line is
one whole.
They then colour the equivalent of the fraction shown. For
example, if they throw 2 with the red die and */4 with the blue
die, then they can colour in
of one line or of one line
or of one line and of another
or
any other combination that is the same as

Each player must record what they roll and what they roll and what they shade in on the chart
below the fraction wall.
The first player who rolls and cannot colour in all of their fraction is the loser.
