Working with fractions can be tough. I admit though, it’s my favorite math topic! But for students, it can be hard. One topic that’s the hardest is working with unlike fractions. When passing out worksheets, students would dread it. Adding and subtracting unlike fractions can be a hassle. Luckily for you (and them), I found a fun way to make it easier!
