Mixed Number Subtraction Eighths

4.NF.3,3c
Module 7
Differentiation Activity

Students draw two cards and roll a dice to make mixed numbers.  They then find the difference between the two and compare with their partner. The student with the greatest difference scores a point for that round.   The winner is the student who has the most points after 5 rounds.

Module 7
Differentiation Activity

Students will take the support page and separate the fractions into two piles. One pile for less than 4 and one with more than 4.  They take turns drawing from each pile and finding the difference between the two mixed numbers.  After 5 rounds, the students add up all their differences and the student with the greatest difference is the winner.
