Discussion Questions

Before the Game

How many halves (1/2) are in a whole? How can you cut a rectangle up into fourths? What do the parts of a fraction tell about its’ numerator and denominator? If you have 2 fractions, how do you know which is greater or has more value?

After the Game

How many cuts did you have to make on a piece of wood to get fourths? How many sixths (1/6) are in a whole? How are halves and fourths related? Why is it important to identify fractions as representations of equal parts of a whole or of a set? How are models used to show how fractional parts are combined or separated?
