Are you ready to master adding fractions with different denominators? Let's begin with a fun and interactive game of Fraction Hangman!
First, the teacher will write a fraction related word on the board, but with the blanks instead of the letters. For example:
Then, the teacher will allow students to guess letters one at a time. For every correct guess, the corresponding letter will be filled in. If a student guesses incorrectly, the teacher will start drawing a stick figure on the board to represent the Hangman.
To make it relevant to the topic, the teacher can provide clues or hints related to adding fractions with different denominators for each word. For example, if the word is "numerator" the hint could be "the top part of a fraction". As the game progresses, students will become more familiar with the concepts and vocabulary related to adding fractions with different denominators.
So, let's get started with playing Fraction Hangman and increase our knowledge of adding fractions with different denominators!
