Game
This game is designed as a fun way of identifying the fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and 1/6.
To play this game, the students need to understand that the same fraction can be represented in different ways, for example, as a symbol, words, fractions of a region, and fractions of a set. Ensure that the students realise that the numerator of the fraction is shown on the game board by the shaded area or object.
