Butterfly

Add or subtract unlike fractions by crossing the diagonals โ€” no LCM hunt

Train

Butterfly โ€” add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators by cross-multiplying, not by finding a common denominator.

For 3/4 + 2/5: cross-multiply the diagonals 3ร—5 = 15 and 2ร—4 = 8; add them for the top โ†’ 23; multiply the denominators for the bottom โ†’ 4ร—5 = 20. So the answer is 23/20. You enter the method step by step โ€” the two cross-products, the top, then the bottom โ€” and each step unlocks only when the one before it is right. Five levels climb from small additions to bigger denominators and subtraction; the steps fade away as you climb until only a bare fraction box is left, and a short timed boss caps each level.
