This set of leveled games helps your students practice comparing fractions, decimals, and percents (separately and combined). Three card sets are included. Use them for easy differentiation or play separate games alongside each of your separate lessons on equivalent fractions, comparing decimals, introducing percents, etc. - Set 1: fractions - Set 2: decimals - Set 3: percents After using each set, you can also mix any two or even all 3 of the card sets together as a review! The game is played

Equivalent Fractions, Decimals, & Percents - Halloween or Fall Practice / Review: This activity is great practice for equivalent fractions and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. It works best if you print the activity sheets for each student / group and then print the sets of pumpkin pieces on cardstock (preferably orange). You can laminate the pieces to re-use year-to-year to reduce cutting time or you can just print and have students cut out their own pieces the night bef

Equivalent Fractions Challenge - Identifying Equivalent Fractions in Different Forms: This activity is great practice with identifying equivalent ratios in fraction form and picture model form. Students put together matches from cut up squares. A "match" can contain any combination of models or fractions. Two different sets of cards are included. Choose the easier level or the more difficult set depending on which is better for your students. Another option is to print some of each for easy

Fraction Review - Comparing Fractions, Identifying Equivalent Fractions, & more! Online Google Slides version now included!These books will help your students to practice using fractions. Within the story are situations in which the reader must model fractions, compare and order fractions, estimate using fractions, and write and identify equivalent fractions. All work is done within the book. Students make choices and head to the page that they are directed to. Students will have different

Fraction Operations (Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying & Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers) - Golf Game: This is a fun way to work through practice problems with fractions. (Mixed numbers included, but no negatives.) Students "play" each hole on the course (5 hole-worksheet) by pulling a "driver" card, then an "iron" and then as many "putter" cards as necessary to sink the ball (get one right). Each card has a problem with fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The g

Fraction Addition and Subtraction (with Mixed Numbers) - Golf Game: This is a fun way to work through practice problems with adding and subtracting positive fractions and mixed numbers. Students "play" each hole on the course (5 hole-worksheet) by pulling a "driver" card, then an "iron" and then as many "putter" cards as necessary to sink the ball (get one right). Each card has a problem with fraction addition or subtraction. The golf worksheet has room for work, answers, and scores. A co

This activity is great practice with matching models to equivalent fractions. Students put together matches from cut up squares. A "match" contains one picture model and one fraction. Two different sets of cards are included. Choose the easier level or the more difficult set depending on which is better for your students. Another option is to print some of each for easy differentiation. This works well as practice, homework, partner work, review, or even as a group quiz. Check out the previ
