Simplifying Fractions Bingo

By Laura Candler

Even when students understand the concept of

simplifying fractions, they need lots of practice to

become fluent with this skill. This Simplifying Fractions Bingo

game is a fun way for students to practice and become

proficient.

Directions:

1. Prepare one set of Calling Cards by printing the Fraction

Bingo Problems on cardstock or heavy construction

paper. Then print the Fraction Answers on the back of

that page. The answers are place on the page in the

correct order so that each answer lands on the back of

each problem. Then cut apart the cards, shuffle them,

and place them in an envelope.

2. Give each student a copy of the blank Bingo board.

3. Display the Fraction Bingo Answers or call them out, one at a time, for students

to record randomly on their boards. Be sure to emphasize the importance of

each person creating a unique board by mixing up the answers and not writing

them in the order that you display or announce them

4. The Caller draws out a Fraction Problem and writes in on the board. Players

simplify the fraction until it’s in lowest terms and find the equivalent fraction on

their boards.

5. Continue playing until someone has a row, column,

or diagonal covered and announces, “Bingo!”

6. The Caller should check the answers to be sure they

are correct before declaring a winner.
