Step-by-Step How to Play this Unit Fraction Game
- Partner Play or Solo Adventure: Whether teaming up with a partner for collaborative learning or embarking on a solo adventure. This versatile game can be played both ways. If in partners, students will need to pick a handful of counters the same colour (but different from one another).
- Roll the Die and Speak Aloud: The excitement begins with each roll of the die! The students take turns rolling and deciding which unit fraction they’ll pop their counter on. They must confidently announce the unit fraction before claiming that spot.
- Continue the Adventure: The exploration doesn’t end with a single roll! Continue the adventure until all of the unit fraction models are covered. This repetitive and engaging process ensures that students reinforce their understanding of unit fractions, promoting a comprehensive grasp of fractions as parts of a whole. Who had the most covered?
