Instructions for each game state the appropriate grade level, math skills required, number of players, equipment, rules, and teacher instructions along with possible variations. General instructions for teaching addition and subtraction with fraction pieces and suggestions for classroom use are included. The appendix contains a detailed listing of skills, such as ordering fractions, correlated to specific games. In a sample game, Dividing Deck for grades 6 and up, two students compete to form the smallest fraction. To begin, each student rolls a fraction die and one card from the deck is turned over.
Players calculate the answer for dividing the fraction on their dice by the number on the card.
When the answers are reduced to lowest terms, the student with the smallest fraction scores one point. Play continues for a set period of time with the player with most points declared the winner. In the next game, Divvy Up, students use the same skills, but roll two dice and use one fraction as a fractional divisor. ENC does NOT distribute this resource.
