Middle School Fractions Projects

Cartoon Last Character Standing

Students will be given a list of Cartoon Characters to see how their characters are eliminated over a 10 day period during the Last Character Standing Games. They will be given a pair of dice that will be used to determine if the character moves on to the next day or if they are eliminated. On the back is a series of questions to ensure that students are learning about experimental probability. Very fun and there will be a lot of laughs.

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (one fraction, one whole or mixed), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation, and checks their answer using keep-change-flip. An MYP Communication rubric (out of 8) and a 100 point rubric are both included so you can choose.

Lots of Differentiation with

- Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging

- Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspects

- Additional number choices for students who need a modified curriculum

- Option to do it as a partner project or individually

This was originally created for MYP Criterion C (communication) but can be used in any 5th or 6th grade class. I included a rubric that adds up to 100 to accommodate other grading policies.

This is all of my fraction resources that I use with my 6th graders.
