Apple Error Analysis Activity:
Students review 24 apple task cards, each containing a fraction multiplication problem. Ten cards have incorrect answers! Students race to identify and correct the errors before time runs out. Two versions are included—one with unreduced fractions and one with simplified answers.
Teams compete to arrange task cards in the correct order from START to FINISH. Each correct product leads them to the next clue. The first team to complete their line wins!
Set up fraction multiplication task cards around the room. Students roam, solve, and drop correct answers into the class “bucket.” Random winners are drawn at the end of the game for prizes.
Students earn dog pieces for each correct answer as they build their park. Chance cards make every round exciting and unpredictable. The first student to complete their dog park wins!
Students spin to determine what type of fraction question to answer. Each correct answer earns random points from the “bug pile,” and each bug has a different value—so anyone can win!
All games come in both color and black-and-white versions for easy printing and reuse.
