Fraction Turnover is a twist on the classic game, Fruit Basket Turnover. In the traditional game, players sit in chairs in a circle with one person standing in the middle.
The person who is left without a seat will stand in the middle and start the next round. Fraction Turnover works similarly.
All players will be assigned a fraction — I recommend putting a picture of it in a lanyard for them to wear. The person standing in the middle will share a fact that is true about their fraction. Some examples of this might include:.
Students must analyze their fraction and determine if the statement could apply to them as well. If so, they will get up and race to find a new, empty seat. The person left standing will go to the center and start the next round. Your email address will not be published.

If you only have a small amount, these work well for a guided math activity. Each child rolls the dice twice, to determine the numbers in the fraction.
The smaller number rolled is the numerator and the larger number is the denominator. This is a game for two players. First, take out all of the face cards but leave the Aces, which will be used as ones. Students shuffle the cards and place them face down. Each student chooses two cards and places them with the smaller card for the numerator and the larger card for the denominator. Students compare fractions by finding the common denominator.
The winner keeps the cards and the person with the most cards at the end of the game wins. One of my favorite ways to reinforce math concepts is to use math task cards and games.

This is the 5th Grade Fractions Bundle. I like to start this activity by doing a whole class lesson.
I ask students different questions and we make fractions on our whiteboards based on the answers. We make fractions for each one. Then to switch it up a bit, I pull a group of four kids to the front and only ask them a question, which changes the denominator. Then I have them sit down and pull a group of six kids to the front to do another question. Again, reinforcing that the total number in the group is the denominator.
