1. Fraction Bingo: A classic game of Bingo, but instead of numbers, the bingo cards has fractions. This game helps students practice identifying and comparing fractions.

2. Decimal War: A card game where students compare decimal numbers. Each player draws a card, and the player with the highest decimal number wins the round. This game reinforces decimal place value and comparison skills.

3. Fraction Puzzles: Create fraction puzzles by dividing paper into pieces and writing different fractions on each piece. Students must match the fractions together to complete the puzzle, encouraging visual representation and fraction equivalence understanding.

4. Decimal Dash: A board game where players move their pieces around the board by rolling a dice and answering decimal-related questions. This game improves decimal computation and fluency skills.

5. Fraction Memory: Prepare a deck of cards with different fraction representations, such as fractions, decimals, and visual models. Players take turns flipping two cards and trying to make a match. This game helps students connect different representations of fractions.

6. Decimal Word Problems Relay: Divide the class into teams. Each team must solve decimal word problems as quickly as possible. The team that completes all the problems correctly first wins the relay. This game enhances problem-solving skills with decimals.

7. Fraction Bowling: Set up a bowling alley with ten pins labeled with fractions. Students roll a ball and try to knock down pins. The fraction on the knocked-down pin is the score earned. This game makes fractions more interactive and engaging.

8. Decimal Bingo: Similar to Fraction Bingo, but instead, the bingo cards have decimal numbers. Students practice identifying and comparing decimals in a fun and interactive way.

9. Fraction War: A card game where players compare fractions. Each player draws a card, and the player with the highest fraction wins the round. This game reinforces fraction comparison and simplification skills.

10. Decimal Golf: Create a mini-golf course with different decimal numbers written on each hole. Students must putt their ball into the holes and record the decimal number on the hole they land in. This game combines math and physical activity.

11. Fraction Scavenger Hunt: Hide fraction cards or objects with different fractions around the classroom or outdoor area. Students must find the fractions and write them down. This game encourages students to apply their fraction knowledge in a real-life context.

12. Decimal Jeopardy: Create a Jeopardy-style game where students answer decimal-related questions in different categories. This game reinforces various decimal concepts and encourages friendly competition.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
