fractions · multiplying fractions by whole numbers
To multiply fractions by whole numbers [5.NF.B.4a].
PAIRING HEXAGON is a Grade 5 fraction game for multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Players choose adjacent hexagons containing one whole number and one fraction, multiply the pair, and color the spaces when the product is correct. Because future turns must connect to previously claimed spaces, students balance mathematical accuracy with board-position choices.
Use it for partner work when students are practicing fraction-by-whole-number multiplication. Asking players to simplify or explain the product before coloring can strengthen the connection between the visual game and the fraction computation.
