Common Denominator War

Common Denominator War is a Grade 4 card game for finding a least common denominator from two numbers. Each player flips a card at the same time, and the first to correctly determine the lowest common denominator for the pair wins the cards. The War-style format turns repeated common-multiple thinking into short, competitive rounds.

Use it for partner practice when students are developing the factor and multiple knowledge that supports work with fractions. Encourage students to explain how they found the common denominator instead of relying only on speed.
