Redesigning a game

It's always exciting to see where the Playful Pets take their learning. A friend shared a game that she knew so the class tried it out. After the first try, the class reflected about the game using a routine called, "PMI" or plus, minus, idea. We tried a new version and repeated the process of reflection. We created a final version that we named, 'The Beanbag'. This game keeps us active and alert.

Fraction Fun

BOPDs attempted to represent fractions in a number line from 0 to 1 and then played a game that they entitled, "Fraction Fun" to see how they well they can do this and if they can recognize the bigger fraction between two examples. The players were in pairs and whoever had the bigger fraction moved on to another partner. The fractions were randomly chosen by rolling a die and then the student had to represent the fraction using a number line.
