| DIRECTIONS: |

1. |
The
leader distributes a set of FracMulti to
each student or team and advises them to write only on
their paper. The leader keeps score or designates a
student who will keep score. |
|
2. |
The
leader selects an answer from the FracMulti
Activity Booklet solution manual and writes
the answer on the board for students to view. |
|
3. |
Students
use FracMulti to find and write as many
problems as possible for the answer in one minute. |
|
4. |
Each team
selects a member to write their problems on the board.
No repetition of problems allowed. One point is
given for each non-repetitive correct problem. This
activity continues until an established time limit or
point total is reached. |
| |
| SUGGESTIONS: |
|
1. |
For
beginners, use the FracMulti Activity Booklet
to find the problems. |
|
2. |
For more
advanced students, have the students create original
problems with unreduced fractions. For example: 2/5 =
12/30 = 4/5 x 3/6 or =3/5 x 4/6 |
