How can I use this Comparing Fractions Game?
- Whole group activity
- Math centers
- Small group math intervention
- Tutoring
- Take-home activity
- Extension activity/early finishers
- Test Prep game
How does this activity help students compare fractions using benchmarks?
- By comparing fractions using benchmarks, students will develop their own strategies for judging the size of a fraction.
- The comparing fractions game lends itself to rich dialogue and countless opportunities for discovery. You'll hear kids say things like "I know a fraction is close to one whole when the numerator and denominator are very close together" or "I put this fraction in the 'more than half' bucket because I know half is 4/8 so 5/8 would be more than half."
- When taught effectively, students can use benchmarks to compare almost any two fractions. By the time you teach them the method of using common denominators to compare fractions, they will already have a mental model of where the fractions fall on the number line. Even when they use common denominators, they will be able to use benchmarks to check for reasonableness.
What grade levels is this Comparing Fractions Game intended for?
This game is designed for 4th grade, but could easily be used as a review for 5th grade or any middle (or even high school math) math classroom. I mean, be honest- have you ever taught a group of students who were just crushing it with fractions?! Yeah, me neither…
