Math Games that Practice Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Fraction Games at FunBrain.com

Just three fraction games are offered here, but they can be set to various difficulty levels. 'Fresh Baked Fractions' and 'Soccer Shootout' engage kids in solving fraction equations in a fun, low-pressure environment. The soccer-themed game asks kids to solve fraction addition or subtraction problems as part of a soccer game. A correct answer equals a goal or a successful block of the opposing team's shot. One final fraction game featured here is 'Puzzler', which requires players to place fractions and decimals in the correct order on a number line.

All three games are fairly straightforward, focusing more on the math problems than on flashy graphics. As a result, they might be ideal for kids who are easily distracted.

Sheppard Software's Math Activities

Here, you'll find several fraction games, including one dealing with addition and one with subtraction. Each game has different difficulty levels that you can select based on your child's skill level. For instance, the fraction addition game allows you to choose adding either two or three fractions with like denominators or fractions with unlike denominators. Because there are several options, your child may be able to play these games for more than one school year. These activities also may come in handy at times when school is out of session, such as during winter or summer break.
