Cards to chain: the right half of one matches the left half of the next. Reading a fraction aloud and writing it as a symbol are two skills that must link. Matching the words to the symbols makes the link explicit.

Why use this

Reading a fraction aloud and writing it as a symbol are two skills that must link. Matching the words to the symbols makes the link explicit.

Each domino ends with a question and the next begins with its answer, so the chain only closes when every match is right. The cards check themselves.

How to run it

  1. 1.Lay the start domino down. Show how the right half is a question for the next left half.3 min
  2. 2.Groups lay the chain. If it does not close, a match is wrong. They find it.10 min
  3. 3.Groups read the chain aloud, question then answer.3 min
