Subtracting Fractions (Common and Mixed)

5.NF.1
Module 7
Differentiation Activity/Student Journal Game

Students can play the game described in the Step In on their 7.7 Student Journal.  Instead of making cubes, you have them use cards.  They will draw a card from each pile and write the subtraction equation.  They will find the difference between the two fractions. Student must determine at the start of the game whether they will award point for:
A:  Denominators - two points for having to change both denominators
                              - one point for changing one denominator

B:  Difference - two point for a difference that is more than one
                        - one point for a difference that is less than one

After five rounds, the student with the most points is the winner.
