Students take turns rolling six number cubes and using four of them to fill in a statement that shows two equivalent fractions. If students roll a 5, it counts as wild and can represent any number they choose. If they can't make a true statement, they re-roll as many cubes as they choose. Each player may re-roll once each turn. Students earn one point for each pair of equivalent fractions. The student with the most points after six rounds wins the game.

Each group of 2 students needs 6 number cubes.

Students take turns rolling number cubes to generate a multiplication expression with a whole number and a fraction. They compare the value of the product to 1 in order to determine the number of points earned. The student with the most points after six rounds wins. Two recording sheets are provided, one for unit fractions (using 3 number cubes) and the other for fractions with any numerator (using 4 number cubes).

Variation:

Students may choose a different target number against which to compare the value of their product.

Each group of 2 students needs 3 number cubes.

Students take turns rolling two number cubes to generate a division equation with the quotient as a fraction. They compare the value of the quotient to 1 in order to determine the number of points earned. The student with the most points after six rounds wins.

Students take turns rolling number cubes to generate a multiplication expression involving two fractions. Together, they compare the values of their products in order to determine the number of points each partner earns. The student with the most points after six rounds wins. Two recording sheets are provided, one for writing expressions involving a unit fraction (using 3 rolled number cubes) and the other for writing expressions involving fractions with any numerator (using 4 rolled number cubes).
