BALLOONS IN ORDER
fractions · comparing and ordering fractions
To put fractions in order [4.NF.A.2].
BALLOONS IN ORDER is a Grade 4 fraction game focused on comparing and ordering fractions. Players draw fraction cards and place them in the correct order on a shared game board, using the numbers they receive to decide where each fraction belongs. The repeated comparisons push students to think about numerator, denominator, benchmarks, and relative size rather than simply calculate.
Use it for partner work when students need more experience explaining why one fraction is greater or less than another. The board makes student thinking visible because every placement is a comparison decision that can be challenged or defended.
