Fraction Problem Solving

Don't forget about all the problem solving in the more math tab!  Teachers have been cutting up the Problem Solving 4 to use during different times of the math block.

Problem Solving 4

Multiplication of Fractions Game

Students draw two cards, one fraction and one whole number, and multiply them together.  Points are awarded as followed:

• A product greater than the whole number drawn scores 1 point.
• A product equal to the whole number drawn scores 2 points.
• A product less than the whole number drawn scores 3 points.

The student with the most points after five rounds is the winner.
