Students work in pairs with fraction strips or rulers. Each pair gets a set of paper strips of equal length. They fold the strips to represent different fractions and physically combine them to visualize fraction addition. For example, folding one strip into fourths and another into thirds to solve problems like 1/4 + 1/3. Students then draw their solutions and explain their reasoning.

Create fraction addition problems using pizza slices! Divide the class into small groups. Each group gets two paper 'pizzas' cut into different denominators (e.g., one cut into 8ths, another into 6ths). Students must solve real-world problems like: 'If you eat 3/8 of one pizza and 2/6 of another pizza, how much pizza did you eat in total?' Students must find common denominators to solve.

Divide class into teams of 4-5 students. Set up 'stations' with fraction addition problems. One student from each team runs to a station, solves the problem, and runs back. The next teammate checks the answer - if correct, they can move to the next station. If incorrect, the team must solve it together. First team to correctly complete all stations wins.

Provide students with simple recipes that include fractions (e.g., 1/3 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour). Challenge them to double or triple the recipe, requiring them to add fractions. Students can work in groups and present their calculations to the class. Extend by having them convert improper fractions to mixed numbers.

Students create colorful art pieces while practicing fraction addition. They divide a paper into different sections (using different denominators) and color specific fractions of each section. They must then calculate the total fraction of the paper that is colored. For example: 2/6 of the paper is red, 3/8 is blue - what fraction is colored in total?

Students create their own 'fraction calculator' using grid paper or digital tools. They must draw or design visual representations of fractions and demonstrate how to add them step by step, including finding common denominators. This becomes a reference tool they can use and share with classmates.

Students work in groups to create board games where players must add fractions to move forward. For example, players roll two dice representing fractions and add them to determine how many spaces to move. Include 'challenge spaces' where players must solve more complex fraction addition problems.

Use musical notation to practice adding fractions. Each type of note represents a fraction of a beat (quarter notes = 1/4, eighth notes = 1/8, etc.). Students create short rhythmic patterns and must add the fractions to ensure they have the correct number of beats per measure.

Students use rulers or measuring tapes to measure various objects in the classroom. They record measurements in fractions of inches and must add measurements together. For example: 'What is the total length of three pencils measuring 3 1/4 inches, 3 3/8 inches, and 3 1/2 inches?'

Hide fraction addition task cards around the classroom. Students work in pairs with recording sheets, moving around to find and solve problems. Include a mix of simple and challenging problems. Add QR codes to cards that link to hint videos for struggling students.

Create bingo cards with fraction addition answers. Teacher calls out fraction addition problems, and students must solve them to find the answers on their cards. Include problems that require finding common denominators. First student to complete a row and explain their solutions wins!
