Using Our Improper Fraction Cards
There are many possible activities for mixed numbers and improper fractions that you can complete with these cards! Here are just a few ideas to get you and your students started:
- Guess My Fraction: Students partner up, and both take an improper fraction card. They then give each other hints about their card, such as “My numerator is a multiple of 5” or “My fraction is between 3 and 4.” Students continue to give clues until both have guessed the other’s fraction.
- Fraction Pictionary: One student chooses an improper fraction card and must draw a visual representation of the fraction (e.g., pie charts, bar models) on the board without using numbers. The other students guess the improper fraction.
- Fraction Scavenger Hunt: Hide the cards around the room and ask students to find them. When they find a card, they must write down the equivalent mixed number before moving on. The student who finds and converts the most within a time limit wins.
