    This was more of a game then anything, but you got to do some fractions after completing the levels.

    This game is similar to the Dirt bike tug team – comparing fractions, except that it is cars and you are adding fractions, instead of comparing fractions. Again the more questions you get right, the more of a chance you will win!

    1.The number on the top is called a numerator and the bottom number is denominator.
    2.It’s not okay to have fraction with zero underneath
    3.Multiply the whole number part by the number of the fractions and then add that top part of the fraction.
    4.turn the second fraction upside down the multiply them.
    5.You have to get the bottom halves of the two fractions be the same then you can subtract them.
