Use your fraction strips from the Start Thinking activity. Label the fractions. Play this game with a partner. You will each need some counters. Take it in turns to spin two numbers. Make a fraction, e.g. spin a 1 and a 3 to make 1 _ 3 . Cover this fraction of a strip. Explain what fraction of the whole strip is covered in total. Miss a turn if you cannot go. The aim of the game is to be the first to cover all three of your strips. 4 3 1 2
