Online Math Game - Adding Mixed Numbers with Unlike Denominators

Your fifth grade students will practice adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators in this interactive, online math game from iKnowIt.com. This math practice activity will challenge students to attain the following learning objectives:

  • Add mixed numbers with unlike denominators
  • Find the common denominator
  • Write equivalent fractions
  • Add the fractional parts
  • Add the whole numbers
  • Simplify the fraction if possible

Students will be shown a variety of vertical addition problems and horizontal addition problems, as well as mixed number addition word problems. They will gain confidence and proficiency with adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators as they work through this fifth-grade math lesson.

As students practice addition with fractions in this online math activity, they will have several helpful tools available to them. If students get stuck on a fractions addition problem, for example, they can click on the "Hint" button, which will provide insight into the first step of the mixed number addition problem: "Find the common denominator. Write equivalent fractions." When students answer a question incorrectly, they will be shown a detailed explanation page with a step-by-step tutorial showing them how to solve the mixed fraction addition problem correctly. Students can move through their math practice session learning from prior mistakes.

Additional math lesson features help children make the most of their math practice session. For example, a progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the math lesson. A score-tracker beneath that lets students see how many points they have achieved for correct answers. Opposite, a speaker icon indicates the read aloud-feature; students can click this button to have the question read out-loud to them in a clear voice. This is an excellent option for ESL/ELL students and children who excel as auditory learners. Each one of the I Know It lesson features is designed with your students' math success in mind.

Number And Operations - Fractions

Use Equivalent Fractions As A Strategy To Add And Subtract Fractions.
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
