Fraction BASH

fractions · matching area fractions and equivalent fractions

Students spin to identify and learn about simple fractions; find the matching area fraction or equivalent fraction.

Fraction BASH is a Grade 3 fraction game built around visual models and equivalent fractions. Players spin a fraction, find a matching figure on the game board, and cover it with a counter. A match can come from the exact area fraction or an equivalent fraction, so students have to look beyond surface appearance and think about the amount represented.

The four-in-a-row format works well for small-group practice because students repeatedly compare visual fraction models while watching one another’s choices. It is especially useful when you want equivalence to stay concrete and picture-based. Generate lesson support for Fraction BASH with a free Find a Math Game account.
