Clear the Fractions (2–4 Players)

Materials Needed:
BLM: Fraction Cards (84.0K)

1. Print and cut out the fraction cards on BLM: Fraction Cards.

2. Shuffle and deal eight fraction cards to each player. Place the rest face down in a pile.

3. Players inspect and arrange their cards. The object is to find groups of three fractions that are related by addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Example: <a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=gif::::/sites/dl/free/0070973385/505858/ml8_games_006.gif','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (0.0K)</a>  or  <a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=gif::::/sites/dl/free/0070973385/505858/ml8_games_015.gif','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (0.0K)</a> Note: The Wild Card may take on any fractional value between 0 and 1.

4. The first player examines the cards for as many groups of three cards as possible, and then places the groups on the table. If there are cards remaining in his or her hand, the player draws a card from the pile and the turn is over. Play moves to the next player on the left.

5. Play ends when
• all the cards have been drawn from the pile, or
• a player is able to place all of his or her cards on the table

6. The score for each player is 20 – n, where n is the number of cards remaining in a player’s hand at the end of the game.
