Task description : .Students play the โ€œone barโ€ version of Fraction Bar Racing. For each move they make, they indicate on a number line which card they turned over and where they ended up.
Assessment options : Drawings, screenshots, screencasts, photographs of physical models.
Teacher notes : The PC version of the game can be tricky to run โ€“ try it out before getting the kids to use it. Mathletics are working on a tablet-friendly version of this game for us. The cards offer more choice at this stage โ€“ you can reduce the number of different fractions available for those who are struggling.
