Description
Fun Distance Learning Game for home or school! This presentation includes two games, modeling Addition and Subtraction of Fractions. Animated directions are included! There is also an enrichment activity form, and a template for fractions blocks that students will need to create for the games. Just click the slide to begin! Animation only works in presentation mode.
These games are most effective if used after equivalent fractions have been introduced. (This can be done visually, by showing students that 1/2 = two 1/4s for example). They align with the Common Core Standard of teaching fraction concepts using models. Students will gain concrete experience to begin making connections between the size of the pieces and the number of pieces needed to make equivalent amounts.
The games should be introduced as a whole group, or a guided small group. Children can play in groups of 2-3, as long as they can ensure an equal number of turns and keep the pace moving. Discuss and compare strategies for winning each game after students have had sufficient exploration time. Example: Choose the larger fraction when possible.
Involve children in making modifications to the game if something isn’t working for your class.
Exploring Equivalents Extensions; two extension activities are given at the end of the presentation. These require students to think about creating equivalent fractions by following a multiplication pattern, and adding fractions with different denominators to make one whole. These should be used after the students have played the original games. The sheets should be taught and practiced together before having students use them independently to clarify any confusion and discuss strategies. Discuss which fractions are compatible, and which are not. Have children draw some conclusions about why that is. Example: thirds and fourths cannot make one whole if added.
It may be assigned in small groups or individually. When students have had ample time to consider possibilities, make a list as a whole class and add on to it as children discover more solutions.
