Introduction
It is time to learn about adding fractions with the same denominator! Today student's will spin the wheel and solve the problem that they land on.

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR6FiZjIkqq3Ed9WoUwiBYKE11M2MOIBIQ2EYOtHuX5YBn7Ns_qThe student will correctly demonstrate how to solve a fraction addition problem when the denominators are the same.
Process
The student will walk up to the board and spin the wheel. After they land on a problem they will then demonstrate to the class how to solve the problem and tell the class the correct answer. The wheel is designed with several problems all over the wheel with a spinner in the middle.

My name is Ms. Layne Allen and I designed this activity to make math more fun. Math can become so discouraging for students, but in a game format with their peers it can be a little better.
