Fraction Number Line Concentration

Skill: Visualizing fractions on the number line

Number of players: 2

What you need: game cards

Preparation: Print off game cards

Object of the Game: Be the player with the most fraction pairs at end of the game.

How to Play: 

• Choose a player to give the cards a good shuffle and then deal the cards face down in equal rows in the middle of the players.

• The first player turns over any two cards one at at time, trying to match a fraction card with a number line card of the same value.   If the two cards are a match (as pictured below), the player picks up the cards and puts them in their discard pile next to them.

• If Player 1 turns over a matching pair of cards, their turn continues repeats the process by turning over two more cards. 
  
• The player's turn ends when the two flipped cards are not a match.
• Player two follows the same procedure.
• The game is over after all the cards have been picked up and placed in the players' discard piles.
• Each player counts the number of cards in their discard pile. 
  
• The winner is the player with the most cards!
