I like that this list includes both fraction strips and games such as Scale Fractions and Triplets. The strips make the size of each part visible before children have to judge equivalent fractions in a game. As a follow-up, students could sketch a character for their own fraction matching game and explain how a correct match works; a game character sprite maker could help turn the sketch into a 2D character while they create the math questions themselves. Which of these activities helped your class most with equivalent fractions?
