So many of my students refused to pause until they solved it! Really engaged my students, even the tricky ones! - Brenda C

Problems include:

• add fractions w/ like denominators,
• add fractions w/ unlike denominators,
• subtract fractions w/ unlike denominators,
• add and subtracting mixed numbers,
• solve fraction word problems.

The entire activity is housed in one GOOGLE Form. There are no links to outside websites. The 4-letter codes are set with answer validation so that students cannot move to the next puzzle until they enter the correct code. Includes answer key.
