Materials: gameboard per player, Build a Fraction Wall cards

Number of Players: 2

1. Place the cards facedown in two piles. Put all the numeral cards in one pile and the fraction word cards in another pile.

2. Take turns to turn over one card from each pile to create a fraction. Write your initials on a brick, or bricks, on your fraction wall with that value. You may use equivalent fractions. For example, if you turn over two-thirds you can write your initials on 2 one-third bricks or 4 one-sixth bricks because 2/3 = 4/6. If you use an equivalent fraction explain your thinking.

3. If you do not have bricks on your wall to match the fraction on your cards you must wait until your next turn. If you turn over a card marked `Free Choice Denominator' you may choose any denominator.

4. Continue playing until all cards have been picked up. The player with the greater number of completed rows of bricks on the wall (wholes) wins the game.
