Got something new and exciting! So many difficult areas of mathematics for elementary learners and one of them is fractions. I preach at my workshops giving students the opportunities to work with three picture models of fractions—area, set and number line! Now they can see number line models every day in your classroom I am so excited to introduce my new poster in my lines of visuals. It is double sided showing visually number line models of fractions! One on side of the poster you will see fractions from rolling two dice. The denominator will be one, two, three, four, five and six. This poster is a great tool to be used with a game called “Race Track Fractions” from my fraction book, Fractions: A Part of the Whole. It is played with double dice! (Reminder that we have such a great price on these!)
The other side of the poster shows fractions on the number line with denominators of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten. It is used with the game called “Race Track Fractions” from my fraction book, Fractions: A Part of the Whole. It is played with decahedron double dice! (Reminder that we have such a great price on these!)
This game can actually be played on the poster using markers and velcro.

This is the game board using the decahedron double dice and transparent chips. |
