Ask if the cards are too easy, too hard, what else could have been on the cards.</div> <br></br> Ask pupils to make a memory card game, to practise fraction / decimal / percentage equivalence. Suggest that they make it difficult but not impossible for their class. You could stipulate that pupils&#39; games turn 3 cards on each go, and try to find a matching triple (fraction / decimal / %)<br></br> <br></br> Demonstrate <a href="http://nrich.maths.org/public/viewer.php?obj_id=2730&amp;part=">Fraction and Coins Game</a> and <a href="http://nrich.maths.org/public/viewer.php?obj_id=2739&amp;part=">Fraction and Percentage Card Game</a> on the interactive white board, to suggest ways to make the game easier / harder.<br></br> <h3>Key questions</h3> When you see 0.3, what are you thinking / looking for?<br></br> Which cards are easy / difficult?<br></br> <br></br> <h3>Possible extension</h3> <div>Play <a href="http://nrich.maths.org/public/viewer.php?obj_id=2739&amp;part=">Fraction Card Game 4</a> where the card matching requires calculations.</div> <br></br> <h3>Possible support</h3> <div>Allow pupils to keep a record of the value of the cards that they have turned.</div> <div>Play <a href="http://nrich.maths.org/public/viewer.php?obj_id=2730&amp;part=">Fraction Card Game 2</a></div> Ask pupils to design a game with fewer cards, but with the most important facts.<br></br></mdoxml> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mdoxml version="1.0"><br></br> The cards come in pairs and you start with 100 points. You click on two cards to flip them over, if they match you win 50 points, if not you lose 5 points for each card. Try again. Remember where the different numbers are so that you can match each card with its partner. The game finishes when you have matched all the pairs.<br></br> <br></br> <h3>The Maths is in the Matching</h3> <div>The numbers on these cards are represented by fractions or by decimals or by percentages and you have to match two representations of the same number.</div> <div>One third is the number you get when you divide one by three. One third can be represented in all the following different ways:</div> <br></br> <br></br> <mdo:image height="85" width="29" src="onethird.gif" alt=""></mdo:image> <div>$$\frac{1}{3} \mbox{ or as an equivalent fraction e.g. } \frac{3}{9} \mbox{ or } \frac{5}{15}$$</div> <br></br> <div>$$0.3333... = 0.3 \mbox{ recurring } = 0.\bar{3}$$</div> <br></br> <div>$$33 \frac{1}{3} \%$$</div> <br></br> <br></br> <br></br></mdoxml> 2 3 0 1 1 0 0 An activity based on the game 'Pelmanism'.
