Math Game #1 The games were selected based on the following: Content Standard: Number and Operations Grade

Level: 3rd Grade Students will develop understanding of fractions as number http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/fractions/memory_fractions1.htm There is a whole section of fraction games for students at every level. There is matching game, a pacman game that they cleverly renamed Equivalent Fractions Mathman and other fun fraction games that strengthen their skills in this area. For the purpose of this assignment, I chose to play the game titles Simple Fraction Matching. There are two rows of both pictorial representations of fractions as well as written forms of the fraction. The object of the game is to match the picture of the fraction to the actual fraction itself. The faster you match the two, the higher score you get. Math Game #2 http://funschool.kaboose.com/formula-fusion/numberfun/games/game_action_fraction.html The name of this game is Action Fraction and the objective is to add and subtract fractions with common denominators. Each time you get the answer correct, the race car (who is racing against two other cars) moves forward past the other cars until eventually it gets to the finish line. I thought this game was great for the kiddos who are just beginning to understand adding and subtracting fractions. Math Game #3 http://www.mathnook.com/Flash/Memory5x4.html This activity was named MathPup Match and was like the game memory where you have to match two items before they disappear from the list. The objective was to match equivalent fractions and clear the board. When the board was clear you moved to the

next level. There was a hard, harder, and hardest level which was great for students who want the option of challenging themselves with more difficult problems. Math Game #4 http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/math-games/melvins-make-match/ The name of this game is Melvins Make a Match and the objective is to match up fractions that have the same value. It starts by you clicking on any of the bottles o the shelf and then you have to click the other bottle that you think is the equivalent picture of the fraction that you chose first. The two bottles are put on a scale and Melvin the Magician weighs the fraction and tells you if they are equal or not. Once you clear the shelf you move on to the next level. Math Game #5 http://www.softschools.com/math/fractions/games/ The name of this game is The Pizza Game and the object of the game is the drag and drop the pizza slices onto the plates to match the fractions. There are two plates with a separate fraction over the top. You have to drag the amount of slices needed on each plate to complete the fraction that is listed. This is a great game for beginners who are just being introduced to fractions. It gives them real life visuals of pizza and is great practice for basic fraction.
