3. Each player spins for the numerator of their fraction. If both players spin the same numerator, both players spin again until they are different.
4. Each player locates and labels their fraction on the same number line on the recording sheet.
5. Both players write their fractions and “>” or “<” on the recording sheet to complete the comparison statement.
6. The player with the greater fraction wins and picks the denominator for the next round.
7. Repeat for 10 rounds. The player who wins the most rounds wins the game.
