Fraction Games

I love learning about fractions.  We play these wonderful games that give kids an excellent conceptual understanding of what fractions are and how they relate to each other.  By playing these games, our kids naturally learn how to compare fractions and how to find equivalency.  I remember at the end of last year, my students and I were discussing a problem related to fractions.  Several of my students told me that they instantly began visualizing our fraction kits and the games we played earlier in the year.  These fraction games stick with the kids (and they have blast playing them, too!).

I loved playing games with the fraction pieces including cover-up an uncover-up. By the way, where are the Camp Thunderbird picutres?
