FRACTION Top It

Identifying fraction names and value         2 players

 Materials: Deck of cards Ace - 9 and Jokers (remove 10, J, Q, K)      Note: Ace = 1, Jokers = 0

 To play:

¨ Shuffle the cards and divide between players.

¨ Players turn over two cards each, the first being the numerator (top) and the second  the denominator (bottom.)

¨ Players say the name of their fraction out loud and the   player with the larger (greater) fraction takes all four cards. This is determined by finding the common denominator of both fractions.

¨ In the event of a tie, each player deals out two more cards to make a new fraction. The player with the greater fraction collects all the cards.

¨ Play continues until one player has collected all of the cards.

   Example:                Player 1                     Player 2

                                       3, 4                             4, 6

                                        3/4                           4/6

                                    3/4 = 9/12                  4/6 = 8/12

                                    Player one would earn the cards.

Variation:  Players form only proper fractions by making the smaller number the numerator and the larger number the denominator.

Struggling to round decimals??

Here’s a video from Khan Academy that can be used as a reference at home: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/decimals-pre-alg/dec-rounding-estimation-pre-alg/v/rounding-decimals   

After the video students can click “practice this concept” and it will give some practice problems. They may be able to access this from their iPad with the Khan Academy app.

Also, when we are rounding we have a little saying that helps us remember to round up or down. We say “5 or more, let it sore. 4 or less, let it rest.”

For example if we want to round 8.764 to the nearest hundredth:

1.We look at the number in the place value we are rounding to (in this case, the digit in the hundredth place is 6),

2. Then we look to number to the right of the targeted place value (in this case, the digit in the thousandths place  is 4). If this number is “5 or more, let it sore” so 6 would become 7. If this number is “4 or less, let it rest” then 6 stays 6. In this case there is a 4 in the thousandths so we would let 6 rest.
