-
identifying fractions on a number line
-

Includes 5 different fractions games:
Fraction Action
This game involves identifying fractions of a whole. Students roll dice to create a fraction (using the smaller number for the numerator, larger for the denominator) and then find the matching circle model on the game board.
Triple Threat
In this game, students identify fractions of a set or group. They draw cards that show a group of objects. Each card has a question that requires the player to name the fraction and then mark the fraction on the game board.
Fill ‘Em Up
The objective of this game is to identify fractions of a whole and build whole units using fractional parts. Players take turns drawing fraction cards and coloring them in on their game board until a whole is filled in. This helps students understand that the denominator shows how many pieces it takes to make a whole.
Model Match Up
This game requires students to identify fractions on a number line and also modeled as fraction circles. They try to find two that match to make as many pairs as they can.
All Star Fractions
To play, students compare fractions on a number line and determine which is greater. This game can be differentiated by having higher level students find equivalent fractions with different denominators.
All of these games are designed for two players. Perfect for partner work and math stations! Or send home for students to play with their family as a fun homework assignment.
