Finding Common Denominators & Adding Fractions

4.OA.4  4.NF.1
Module 7
Differentiation Activity

Students can use the mix-and-match fraction cards in the Number Case to find common denominators (if needed) and then add the fractions.

Comparing Fractions

4.NF.2
Module 4
Differentiation Activity

This game can be for 2-4 students.  Each student will draw a card.  The students compare their cards.  The student with the greatest fraction receives 4 points.  The next greatest receives 2 points.  When all the cards are gone, the student with the most points is the winner.

Area Model Equivalent Fractions

4.NF.1
Module 4
Differentiation Activity

The first student will draw a rectangle with a ruler and partition it into equal parts.  They will shade in parts of that whole and write the matching fraction.  The second student will then split their fraction into smaller parts and write the equivalent fraction.

I used centimeter grid paper under a piece of white paper in a sheet protector, and it made it easier to create pieces instead of a ruler.

Remainder Run - A Fundamentals Game

4.NBT.6
Module 4 Lesson 12
Differentiation Activity/Fundamentals Game

Students draw a card and mentally divide the number their counter is on by the number drawn.  They may move the number of remainders left over.  The student who reaches finish or beyond is the winner.

Multiplication Facts Race

4.NBT.1  4.NBT.5
Module 2
Differentiation Activity

Students use a 30 second to 1 minute timer and take turns writing a string of multiplication facts. They must have one number the same as the previous multiplication fact and the answer must be correct.  At the end of the time, the student with the most correct equations earns a point. The student with the most points after 5 rounds is the winner.

Relating Multiplication and Division

4.NBT.6  4.OA.3
Module 5
Differentiation Activity

Student 1 will write a multiplication fact on a white board.  Student 2 will then write the matching division facts that correspond with those multiplication facts.  Students can also do this with the multiplication/division fact families on index cards and use them for mix-and-match games such as memory.

5-Digit Subtraction

4.NBT.4
Module 4
Differentiation Activity

Students can use the 5-digit mix-and-match cards in the Number Case to create subtraction equations.  The student with the greatest or least difference can earn a point.  The student with the most points at the end of 5 rounds is the winner.
