  1. Fraction Pizza: Provide students with a paper template of a pizza divided into different slices. Ask them to color a certain number of slices to represent a given fraction (e.g., color 2 out of 8 slices to represent 2/8). Then, have them compare their pizzas with their classmates and discuss the different fractions represented.

  2. Fraction War: Divide the class into pairs and give each pair a deck of playing cards. In this game, each player flips over two cards and creates a fraction by using one card as the numerator and the other as the denominator (e.g., if a player flips over a 3 and a 5, they create the fraction 3/5). The player with the larger fraction wins the round. The game continues until one player has won all the cards.

  3. Fraction Art: Provide students with a variety of colored paper strips and ask them to create a collage using different fractions. For example, they can create a picture using strips that represent 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. After completing their artwork, have students explain the fractions they used and how they combined them.

  4. Fraction Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or objects around the classroom or school that can be divided into fractions (e.g., a bookshelf with 4 shelves, a clock with 12 hours, a basketball court divided into thirds). Divide the class into teams and give each team a list. Students must find the items and write down the fractions that represent each item.

  5. Fraction Story Problems: Provide students with real-life story problems that involve fractions. For example, “Sara baked a cake and ate 3/4 of it. How much of the cake is left?” or “A pizza is divided into 8 slices. If John eats 3 slices, what fraction of the pizza did he eat?” Have students solve the problems individually or in small groups and discuss their solutions.

  6. Fraction Relay Race: Divide the class into teams and set up a relay race. Each team member must solve a fraction problem before passing the baton to the next team member. The team that completes the race first wins. You can vary the difficulty of the problems based on the students’ abilities.

  7. Fraction Manipulatives: Provide students with fraction manipulatives such as fraction bars, fraction circles, or fraction tiles. Ask them to use the manipulatives to represent different fractions and compare them. For example, they can compare 1/2 and 2/4 by physically manipulating the pieces.

  8. Fraction Bingo: Create bingo cards with different fractions written on them. Call out fractions randomly, and students must mark the corresponding fraction on their bingo cards. The first student to get a line or a full card wins.

  9. Fraction Relay Race: Divide the class into teams and set up a relay race. Each team member must solve a fraction problem before passing the baton to the next team member. The team that completes the race first wins. You can vary the difficulty of the problems based on the students’ abilities.

  10. Fraction Board Game: Create a board game where students move their game pieces along a path by solving fraction problems. Each space on the board can have a different fraction problem that students must solve to move forward. The first player to reach the end of the board wins.

  1. Fraction Pizza: Give students a paper pizza divided into slices. Ask them to color a certain number of slices to represent a fraction. For example, color 2 out of 8 slices to show 2/8. Then, have them compare their pizzas with classmates and talk about the different fractions.

  2. Fraction War: Pair students up and give each pair a deck of cards. In this game, players flip over two cards and create a fraction by using one card as the top number and the other as the bottom number. For example, if they flip over a 3 and a 5, they make the fraction 3/5. The player with the bigger fraction wins. Keep playing until one player has all the cards.

  3. Fraction Art: Give students colored paper strips and ask them to create a collage using different fractions. For example, they can make a picture using strips that represent 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. After they finish, have students explain the fractions they used and how they combined them.

  4. Fraction Scavenger Hunt: Make a list of things in the classroom or school that can be divided into fractions. For example, a bookshelf with 4 shelves or a clock with 12 hours. Divide the class into teams and give each team a list. Students must find the items and write down the fractions that represent each one.

  5. Fraction Story Problems: Give students real-life story problems involving fractions. For example, “Sara ate 3/4 of a cake. How much is left?” or “John ate 3 slices of an 8-slice pizza. What fraction did he eat?” Have students solve the problems alone or in small groups and discuss their answers.

  6. Fraction Relay Race: Divide the class into teams and set up a relay race. Each team member must solve a fraction problem before passing the baton to the next person. The team that finishes first wins. You can make the problems easier or harder depending on the students’ abilities.

  7. Fraction Manipulatives: Give students fraction manipulatives like fraction bars or circles. Ask them to use the manipulatives to show different fractions and compare them. For example, they can compare 1/2 and 2/4 by physically moving the pieces.

  8. Fraction Bingo: Create bingo cards with different fractions on them. Call out fractions randomly, and students must mark the corresponding fraction on their cards. The first student to get a line or a full card wins.

  9. Fraction Board Game: Make a board game where students move their game pieces by solving fraction problems. Each space on the board can have a different fraction problem that students must solve to move forward. The first player to reach the end wins.
