All the Same to Me

fractions · equivalent improper fractions and mixed numbers

Demonstrate and describe equivalent mixed numbers and improper fractions [7.N(NC).5].

All the Same to Me is a fraction game for Grades 6–8 focused on equivalent improper fractions and mixed numbers. Players roll three dice and choose individual values or sums to fill a board, trying to build several representations that are mathematically equivalent. The open choice in each roll makes students reason about what numerator, denominator, or whole-number value would preserve equivalence.

Use it with partners or a small group when students need to move between mixed numbers and improper fractions with more reasoning than a conversion worksheet provides. Ask them to justify why two forms represent the same quantity. Create a free account to generate the lesson for All the Same to Me. No credit card. 3 lesson generations for life.
