Description
3 fraction puzzles to help students strengthen their understanding of adding fractions and build number sense. The puzzles are easily differentiated to meet the needs of your students. Ideas for differentiating are included in the PDF.
**All 3 puzzles require students to add fractions with different denominators.
Puzzle #1 has 4 blank spaces and comes with 6 sorting fractions. Students figure out which fractions will add to the rows and columns. You can choose to give students all 6 sorting fractions with the puzzle to make the puzzle more challenging, or only the 4 sorting fractions that correctly complete the puzzle.
Puzzle #2 has 6 blank spaces and comes with 6 sorting fractions. To decrease the challenge of this puzzle, you can choose to sort one of the fraction slips onto the puzzle before giving it to students.
Puzzle #3 has 8 blank spaces with 8 sorting fractions. It is a 3x3 grid with the middle fraction filled in. This will be the most challenging puzzle.
Includes both print and digital versions of the 3 puzzles. The digital versions are drag-and-drop in GOOGLE Slides. If you choose to differentiate the puzzles, you can make an extra copy of the Slides file and delete the "distractor" numbers from puzzle #1 and/or sort one (or more) of the numbers onto puzzle #2 before sharing with students. An answer key is included.
