Description
I am always looking for visual games to help teach math skills. Educational Insights Fraction Formula Game visually introduces fractions in a fun, strategic method.
To play, place cards in the center of the table. Players each take a test tube and draws a card. They have to read the fraction aloud, find the corresponding fraction piece and place it in their tube. Players need to strategically decide when they have enough fractions without over filling their test tube.
Children can see and compare different size fraction pieces. It doesn’t take long before they realize that they need a big piece with a smaller number when they have lots of space in their test tube. Critical thinking is strengthened when the player has to work out how many pieces will fill their test tube. Then they have to decide whether it is worth taking the risk to play another round. The object is not to let the test tube overflow.
For more advanced fraction concepts the Fraction Formula Game pieces can be added together to find what will equal 1. Students have to add and subtract fractions to find equivalencies.
Definitely hands-on learning!
