Fraction Flip It (Multiplying and Dividing Fractions) MATERIALS: - Deck of playing cards, - Fraction Flip It GAME SHEET - paper and pencil for each player PREPARE: Remove the face cards from the deck. Print out a copy of the game sheet for each player. 1. Shuffle the cards and stack them face down. 2. Player 1 draws the top card and places it on the game sheet. 3. Players continue drawing cards and placing them until they have filled all four spaces. 4. Each player multiplies the two fractions (aces = 1) and simplifies the answer if possible. 5. Player’s opponents check work. 6. Players compare correct answers and score points according to the code on game sheet. Players score in more than one category: Example – Correct answer is 5 points, did not have to simplify is 15 points, smallest answer of all the player’s answers is 5 points. So, for round 1 this player’s score would be 25. 7. Shuffle cards, and play Round 2. Play 12 rounds and whoever has the most points wins! mathfilefoldergames/fraction-flip-it Share an adaptation/modification of this game in the comments and hopefully this is where the real good stuff is! ---- Join my mailing list to receive more free ideas about math (activities/games/advice…) Just click here to join: goo.gl/5QBe1w
