Problem Interpretation

Students will read a problem from a worksheet or flashcard. Have them reinterpret it, solve it, and then hop to that answer on the mat. Examples: ⅓ x 3 = 1…SO…1 x 3 ÷ 3 = 1 ¼ X 4 = 1…SO…1 x 4 ÷ 4 = 1 ¾ x 3 = 9/4…SO…3 x 3 […]
Clipboard Math

Clip a math worksheet on a clipboard. Have your student figure out the answers to the fraction problems by walking or jumping on the mat.
Adding and Subtracting Positive and Negative Fractions

Important: Have students face the positive numbers when adding and the negative numbers when subtracting, and make a 180 degree turn for each negative sign (not including the first number in the equation). Two negatives require a 360 degree turn canceling the change in direction. Sample Questions: 4/3 – 5/3 = -3/4 – 1/4= 10/4 […]
