Duane Said:

any fraction games and activities for 3rd graders?

We Answered:

This is a fraction game I play with my 4th and 5th graders. They roll the die and the number they roll tells them how many chances they have to "shoot" a hoop. They can do this by throwing a crumpled up piece of paper into a garbage can / a small ball into a crate / etc. (I also had a class try this at recess.....but you said it must be indoors.) They have to record the fraction of the shots they make. Several children can do this, and then they compare fractions to see who had the best record. They can make equivalent fractions with common denominators, or they can change fractions to percents with calculators. This might be a little difficult with third graders..........I'm not sure of what skills they already have. It works well with 4th and 5th grade. Also, it's a great game for discussions. For example, "Why is Jacklyn's record better than Joey's? Jacklyn only made 1 basket out of 2 shots, and Joey made 2 baskets out of 10 shots. Joey made more baskets than Jacklyn, but his record isn't as good. Why is that?" etc. etc. etc.

Also, we play different versions of fraction bingo / Frac Tac Toe.

Good luck!

Do you know of any online games that will help with math?

It looks a bit lame though, haha, your daughter might find it a bit patronising.

This looks quite good and more professional...

Gregory Said:

guys! ., help me please! i need games related to percant, decimals & fractions. not online games please ., ty?

We Answered:

Well, there are few game shows on TV that would translate OK.

Family Feud (the top answers from 100 people surveyed = %)

Card Sharks (same thing - out of 100 people surveryed = %)

Deal or No Deal (liklihood of what's in a case is usually expressed in a fraction; the banker's offer is calculated using percentages)

Maybe you can come up with something to mirror those, or use "the home version" somehow.

What are some simple and/or fun ways to learn/study fractions?

We Answered:

Any type of food that you can cut up easily into even pieces works really well. I did that with my son when we were home schooling. Works great!
