Fraction Board Game

Review fractions with this easy-to-make board game. Students will
practice describing fractions out loud in order to roll the die and move
ahead. Once you've mastered the board, create another! You'll be able to
match the game with any ability level.

What You Need:
One die
A place marker for each player (a bean, coin, etc.)
Piece of paper
Pen or marker
Ruler (optional)

What You Do:
1. Create your game board. We chose to create a printout featuring series of interconnected cells
with visual representions of a different fraction contained in each cell (see picture). However, it's
pretty easy to draw a game board using a pen and ruler. Make sure to include a finish line as
part of your game board.
2. Each player should pick out a place marker and put it at the starting point on the game board.
3. Players take turns rolling the die. Each player's roll determines how many cells he gets to move.
4 . Beginning in the second round, a player must say the fraction aloud shown inside his marker's
space before he can roll.
5. Only one marker may occupy a space. The player who landed there first stays and the other
player must return to the start.
6. The first player to reach the finish line wins!
