                                             1  each                                      1
                                             6                                            8  each







                                                                    1

              2.  Paste each fraction on a separate cardboard or an old greeting card to make fraction
                  cards.
              3.  Form groups of four to five students.

              4.  Each group should take the fraction cards and make groups of 1 whole square using
                  different fractions. Write down the sums formed this way.
              5.  The group that makes maximum number of sums is the winner.
