| OBJECTIVES: | |||
| This game allows the student to: | |||
| use problem-solving skills in mastering multiplication of fractions. | |||
| analyze and identify the various possibilities and patterns of fractions. | |||
| use tools and number sense to solve problems. | |||
| ??Questions anyone?? Create the most multiplication problems for the given fraction and receive the highest score! | |||
| MATERIALS NEEDED: | |||
| FracMulti Activity Booklet | |||
| FracMulti sets | |||
| Paper or index cards (any size) | |||
| Pen or Pencil | |||
| Timer or Stopwatch | |||
| DIRECTIONS: | |||
| 1. | The leader distributes a set of FracMulti to each student or team and advises them to write only on their paper. The leader keeps score or designates a student who will keep score. | ||
| 2. | The leader selects an answer from the FracMulti Activity Booklet solution manual and writes the answer on the board for students to view. | ||
| 3. | Students use FracMulti to find and write as many problems as possible for the answer in one minute. | ||
| 4. | Each team selects a member to write their problems on the board. No repetition of problems allowed. One point is given for each non-repetitive correct problem. This activity continues until an established time limit or point total is reached. | ||
| SUGGESTIONS: | |||
| 1. | For beginners, use the FracMulti Activity Booklet to find the problems. | ||
| 2. | For more advanced students, have the students create original problems with unreduced fractions. For example: 2/5 = 12/30 = 4/5 x 3/6 or =3/5 x 4/6 | ||
