Practice Matching Number Lines and Mixed Numbers with a Fractions Game!

Are you looking for a fractions activity that strengthens your students’ understanding of mixed numbers and number lines? This matching activity will encourage students to find matching mixed numbers, improper fractions, bar models, and fractions on a number line. Each match includes:

• Mixed number
• Improper fraction
• Bar Model Representation
• Mixed Number on a Number Line Representation

To use, students will place all cards face up in front of them. Beginning with the Mixed Number cards, students will review the remaining cards and identify the improper fraction and visual representations that match the given mixed number,

Each mixed number is part of a set of four cards, with nine different mixed numbers for students to work with. In total, there are 36 cards representing mixed numbers in the download.

Through this activity, students will show they can match an improper fraction, mixed number, and visual representation of the same number.
