The Fraction Game Materials: Each pair of players need one game sheet, one pair of dice, and two different colored dry erase markers. Object: The object of the game is to “own” the most circles. A player may claim a circle when MORE THAN HALF has been colored with his/her color of marker. Directions: Players roll one die to see who goes first. Player One then rolls the dice. The lower number represents the numerator, and the larger number represents the denominator. Player One colors in that fractional part of a circle. The players take turns rolling the dice, naming his/her fraction and coloring in the segments, each in his/her own color. A player may color all of his/her roll in one circle or split the roll among more circles. A player may also color in equivalent fractions such as 1/3 = 2/6. A player may claim a circle as his/her own by putting his/her initials next to the circle when more than half of it is colored in his/her color. If each player colors a circle equally, each having half, neither player may claim the circle. The circle is neutralized. Play continues until all of the circles have been claimed or neutralized.

The Fraction Game Materials: Each pair of players need one game sheet, one pair of dice, and two different colored dry erase markers. Object: The object of the game is to “own” the most circles. A player may claim a circle when MORE THAN HALF has been colored with his/her color of marker. Directions: • Players roll one die to see who goes first.

• Player One then rolls the dice. The lower number represents the numerator,

and the larger number represents the denominator. Player One colors in that fractional part of a circle.

• The players take turns rolling the dice, naming his/her fraction and coloring

in the segments, each in his/her own color. A player may color all of his/her roll in one circle or split the roll among more circles. A player may also color in equivalent fractions such as 1/3 = 2/6.

• A player may claim a circle as his/her own by putting his/her initials next to

the circle when more than half of it is colored in his/her color. • If each player colors a circle equally, each having half, neither player may

claim the circle. The circle is neutralized. Play continues until all of the circles have been claimed or neutralized.
