Take turns with your partner(s) throwing the ten paper balls into the trash can. Your partner will collect data using tally marks on the chart below to show how many of the 10 paper balls went into the trash can. Prediction for Number of Player #1 Number of Fraction of Baskets “Baskets” Number of Tosses Made _______________ “Baskets” (Use tallies) 10 Prediction for Number of Player #2 Number of Fraction of Baskets Number of “Baskets” Tosses Made _______________ “Baskets” (Use tallies) 10 On a of unlined paper, create a poster to display your group’s results. Your poster should include the following. Write to explain the results of the contest. Be prepared to share your poster and results with the class. Represent the number of good throws for each partner as a fraction and express a comparison of fraction scores using a >, <, or = symbol. Make your poster colorful and informative! Example: Player #1 Player # 2 PERFORMANCE TASK: THE FRACTION GAME Suggested Time for Task: 1-2 class periods Students create a game while reviewing all the different aspects of fractions they have studied.
