Simplify and Snap is an engaging and effective task card math review game for simplifying fractions. Students can play the game with a partner, in math centers, or in cooperative learning teams. To play the game, students flip over fraction cards and try to simplify them. If they are correct, they earn a "snap cube" and try to create the tallest tower.
Even when students understand the concept ofsimplifying fractions, they need lots of practice tobecome fluent with this skill. This Simplifying Fractions Bingogame is a fun way for students to practice and becomeproficient.
Fraction concepts can be tough for kids to understand, so I'm always looking for fun ways to teach them. Because visual models are important for concept development, I created these activity cards that have penguin fractions on the fronts and matching fraction bars on the backs. They're great for all kinds of fraction games and activities! Download a free Equivalent Fractions Sorting activity to try with your own students!
No doubt about it ... comparing fractions with different denominators is tough! In fact, some might argue that this skill is too challenging for 3rd and 4th graders, which might be true if they have to find least common denominators. But if kids develop fraction number sense instead of memorizing algorithms, they will blow you away with how easily they use creative thinking to solve comparison problems!
