Error Analysis Pages (4 total):
Students analyze sample “work” to decide which solutions are correct. These discussion-friendly pages strengthen critical thinking and help students recognize common fraction misconceptions.
Cut-and-Paste Activity:
Students cut out fraction “food” pieces and glue them into the correct column based on their equivalent value. This print-and-go activity adds creativity and visual reinforcement.
Game #1: Build a Castle
Students earn castle pieces each time they correctly identify or generate equivalent fractions. Chance cards make gameplay unpredictable, and the first player to complete their castle wins!
Game #2: Whole-Class “Bucket Filler!”
