FractionWar

In this activity, the students took turns playing "war" using a deck of cards and a pencil to act as the fraction line. The pair of students decided who the larger fraction has based on the four cards played. The winner got to keep all the cards. Player with most cards at end won the game. The goal of this learning engagement was to develop quick comparison of fractions using the strategies learnt for comparing like and unlike fractions as well as fractions that have same numerators.

Making pairs of equivalent fractions

The students were given fraction cards. They sorted the given fraction cards to make pairs of equivalent fractions.

Matching fractions

The students matched the fractions with the shapes showing the portion of the fraction shaded.

Sorting fractions

The students were divided into groups wherein each group got a mix of fraction cards. The group members were required to sort the cards given under various labels indicating different types of fractions.They sorted fractions as like and unlike fractions, unit, proper, improper and mixed fractions.

Making whole using fraction circles set

In this time bound activity, the team members represented a whole on the given fraction card using various combinations from the fraction circles set.

Factor race game

In this cooperative learning game the students got an opportunity to find factors in a short period of time. This game was first introduced by playing a few rounds as a class so that everyone could understand the rules. There are two levels of play, and each level includes 12 cards that served as target numbers for each round. Students flipped over a card and raced to see how many factors they can find in one minute. Students took turns being the leader and kept the score.
