FRACTION SHOWDOWN

fractions · comparing fractions

Compare fractions and win cards by identifying the greatest fraction.

FRACTION SHOWDOWN is a fraction-comparison card game for Grades 3–5. Everyone flips a card at the same time, compares the fractions, and the greatest value wins the round. Equal fractions trigger a showdown, giving students repeated opportunities to notice equivalence as well as greater-than and less-than relationships.

Use it for partner or small-group review when you want quick comparisons that can be followed by explanation. Students can use benchmarks, common denominators, or other supported strategies to justify the winner.
