This number sense activity focuses on finding the product and sum of integers and/or rational numbers. The fun element of the game is the random number generated by the spinner. The game packet includes instructions, six spinners, and record sheet.
Note: This activity is also included in the Integer Operations Activity Bundle.
I love your games, I always want to be in there having a go myself, they look so pretty, thanks for sharing all your creativity with us, and all your good maths too =D
Your comment melts my soul! Thanks to YOU for your appreciation.

My students "freeze" on the fractions as well so was very glad to have this fun way to coax them into tackling them!! They also got busy thinking of other ways they could use this game format to create more games.
Awesome! I'm so excited that your students worked to create their own games! We used these spinners for probability. Be sure to visit my blog to grab that free record sheet. www.lisatilmon.blogspot.com
Students used this in rotations before spring break. I loved the variety of the spinners and that you included fractions! Why do they always get stumped with those blasted fractions?
This is lucky year #13 for me. I taught 10 years of high school math and then moved down to 7th and 8th grade! I am convinced junior high is the best kept secret! Shhh...don't tell. :)
