Add Like Fractions Game
To add like fractions, you add the numerators (the top numbers) and keep the denominator (the bottom number) the same. If the result is an improper fraction then it needs to be converted into a mixed number. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
This game presents two proper fractions with the same denominator that you need to add. Convert the resulting improper fraction (if any) to a simplified mixed number. The denominators are in the range of 2 to 12. If you give a wrong answer, the game will provide you the correct solution. It also has a 60-second timer, encouraging players to solve the problems quickly and efficiently.
