Description
Are you looking for an engaging resource to help your students master the skill of multiplying fractions by whole numbers? This is a fun whole-group game to use for practice!
WHAT’S INSIDE?
This resource includes two different games at varying levels of difficulty.
- Level 1: Multiply Whole Numbers by Unit Fractions (26 total cards)
- Level 2: Multiply Whole Numbers by Fractions With Denominators Greater Than One (26 total cards)
PEDAGOGY
This task requires students to use multiple senses, visual and auditory, to successful complete the task. It is meant to serve as a fun way to practice and hone the concept, not a way to introduce or teach a new skill.
HOW CAN I USE IT?
Cut and laminate the cards so they will last for years. Make sure they are shuffled before you pass them out to students. I like to have my whole class start by standing, then sit after they have had their turn. I also like to time the group, then we try to beat the time when we mix them up and try again!
WILL IT WORK FOR ME?
- The two different levels make it easy to differentiate depending on what your students need at the moment.
- If you have more cards than students, make sure to hand out the extra cards to responsible kids.
- You can have your students partner up to build confidence and add support if needed.
