standard_description: Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (Students able to multiply fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a fraction is not a requirement at this grade.)

Narrative
Before playing, students remove the cards that show 10 and set them aside.
Each student picks 6 cards and chooses 4 of them to create an addition expression with fractions. Each student adds their numbers and the student whose sum is closest to 5 wins a point for the round. Students pick new cards so that they have 6 cards in their hand and then start the next round.
Variation:
Students can choose a different number as the goal.
