Games & Activities:

• Fraction Bingo: To play roll the dice; reinforce words such as numerator and denominator.  If a 2 and 4 are rolled, color in 2/4’s of the circle cut in fourths OR an older child might realize that it is also the same as 1/2.  Similar conversions can be made with a whole circle.  For instance, if a two 6’s were rolled, one might realize that that equals a whole circle.   First to get five in a row, wins!  Have fun playing! (School Time Snippets)
• Fraction War: Kids can compare fractions: greater than, less than, or equal to. Play like the traditional card game War, but with fractions! The player with the highest fraction gets to keep his card and his opponent’s. Who will collect the most fractions? (We Are Teachers).
