Go Fish with Fractions

Go Fish with Fractions is a Grade 4 card game for connecting improper fractions with equivalent mixed numbers. Students create the card deck themselves, writing improper fractions on some cards and matching mixed-number forms on others, then play a Go Fish-style game to collect corresponding pairs. The matching structure keeps the focus on recognizing two equivalent ways to represent the same quantity.

Use it in small groups after students have learned how improper fractions and mixed numbers are related. Creating the cards adds another layer of thinking because students must generate correct pairs before they ever start playing.
