Program Description
It's a fraction game show! Find out how much you know about fractions as you choose from three different categories and solve problems. Fractions can be fun!

Program Format
I. Introduction to Game Show and categories: Show Me the Pie, Tally Task, Down with DenominatorsII. Round One (tasks depend on choice of category): Use pie pieces to construct fractionsIII. Round Two (tasks depend on choice of category): Observe how you make fractions by performing a simple taskIV. Round Three (tasks depend of choice of category): Step, twirl, and twist to position fractionsV. Conclusions and Questions

N.ME.03.16 Understand that fractions may represent a portion of a whole unit that has beenpartitioned into parts of equal area or length; use the terms “numerator” and “denominator.” N.ME.03.19 Understand that any fraction can be written as a sum of unit fractions, e.g. ¾ can be written 1/4+1/4+1/4N.ME.04.20 Understand fractions as parts of a set of objectsN.MR.04.23 Understand the relationships among halves, fourths, and eighths and amongthirds, sixths, and twelfths.N.MR.04.26 Compare and order up to three fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8, and 3, 6,and 12, including improper fractions and mixed numbers.N.MR.04.27 Add and subtract fractions less than 1 with denominators through 12 and/or 100,in cases where the denominators are equal or when one denominator is a multiple of the other.N.MR.04.28 Solve contextual problems involving sums and differences for fractions where onedenominator is a multiple of the other (denominators 2 through 12, and 100).N.MR.04.30 Multiply fractions by whole numbers, using repeated addition and area or arraymodels.N.ME.05.10 Understand a fraction as a statement of division, using simple fractions and pictures to represent.N.ME.05.11 Given two fractions, express them as fractions with a common denominator, but not necessarily a least common denominator; use denominators less than 12 or factors of 100. N.ME.05.12 Find the product of two unit fractions with small denominators using an area model.N.ME.05.13 Divide a fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a fraction, using simple unit fractions.N.FL.05.14 Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators through 12 and/or 100, using the common denominator that is a product of the denominators of the 2 fractions
