Fraction to decimal 4 in a row
A game for 2 or more players
This game gives practise of converting fractions to their decimal equivalents. It provides challenge and encourages reasoning and estimating about fractions and decimals to choose appropriate numbers.
How to play
Record 0 and 1 on the ends of the number line.
Players each choose a differently coloured pen/pencil and then take turns to choose any two numbers from 1 to 12 inclusive to make a fraction. This fraction must be converted to a decimal by using known equivalents or an appropriate calculation, rounding to 2 decimal places.
The decimal number is then marked in the appropriate place on the numberline. If the number has already been marked by a player, the turn ends. The winner is the first player to mark 4 numbers in an unbroken line.
