Comparing Fractions
We had a class activity where we work with poker cards to compare fractions.
Challenge 1
The pupils worked in pairs to pick 2 random cards each. The smaller digit will be the numerator and the larger digit will be the denominator.
They compare the fractions doing the workings in their notebooks and the player with the larger fraction wins a point.
They next form improper fractions and compare them too.
Challenge 2
They next work in groups of 4 to compare and order their fractions. The player with the greatest fraction wins 4 points. The next player with the next greater fractions wins 3 points and so on . The player with the smallest fraction earns 1 point.
This is more challenging and I love the rich math discussion that were going on in the groups as they taught each other how to compare. I observed that pupils were using Math language to reason and "convince" their group members why they fraction is the greatest.
Special thanks to all the parents who loaned and contributed the cards.
Here are some photos of our activity and learning .
Thank you Joel Tan for helping me to capture the above concepts taught.
