FRACTION-OMINOS

Numbers and Operations

Purpose: To have the fewest fraction-ominos at the end of the game.

Skill: Recognizing and matching fractions visually, numerically, and in written form

Players: 2 - 4

Directions:

1. Mix up fraction-ominos face down, have each player pick seven.

2, The object of the game is to match fraction- ominos end to end so that their equivalent ends are adjacent to each other.

3. Fraction-ominos can be played at either end, right side up or upside down.

4. Play rotates clockwise.

5. If there are extra fraction-ominos (2 or 3 players), players may pick up one fraction-omino if they cannot play on their turn.

6. The game ends when all of one player's fraction-ominos have been played or when no one can place a match.

VARIATION: Similar format except the match must be the "completion" of the fraction - for example, 1/4 must be matched to 3/4.
