I gave my grandson a fraction test and was pleased with how well he did. The test showed me that he needed help with converting fractions from 1/2 to 4/8 type problems. I went to the Just Between Friends Sale and found a game called Fraction Dominoes by Creative Teaching Associates copyrighted 2003.
The game is wonderful. It is made out of heavy pieces of paper like the memory cards sold by Milton. One end has a fraction number like 1/6 and the other end has a graphic display with red and black patterns. The red is the numerator and the black is the denominator. There are two 6 sided disks that are placed in the middle to begin the play. One of the disks is easier than the other one and uses less dominoes also.
To start the play we draw 6 dominoes each and place them face up so we can help each other. As we learn to play we do not share what dominoes we get. This is a wonderful game that I can use with other students.
