KINGS AND QUEENS
fractions · adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions
To add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions [5.NF.A][5.NF.B].
KINGS AND QUEENS is a Grade 5 fraction-operations game where playing cards become numerators and denominators. Students form fractions from their hands, combine two or three of those fractions, and choose from addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to create and solve expressions. The open choice of operation makes each hand a small problem-solving task rather than a predetermined exercise.
Use it in a small group when students are reviewing several fraction operations and can explain why a chosen operation is valid. Recording each combination gives teachers a useful look at both fraction construction and computation.
