Activity

  1. One sheet for each student
  2. Roll the die and name the fraction
  3. They record the fraction in one of the cells of the table trying to match the description in that row.
  4. The students write the answer when they have completed the description. For example, if they have completed ‘adds to more than 1’ they may have 1/2 and 5/8 so they should write in the third column 1 1/8
  5. They are awarded one point when both fractions in a row match the description.
  6. No points if only one fraction matches the description.
  7. The player with the most points wins.
