Reinforce fraction knowledge with our engaging Fraction Match game! Students match visual fraction representations to their corresponding written fractions, building both recognition and understanding through hands-on play. This simple yet effective activity is ideal for independent work, partner tasks, or small group rotations.

With 24 sets ranging from ½ to 8/10, students are exposed to a variety of fractions in both common and less familiar forms. This encourages them to make strong visual-symbol connections, improving their confidence in identifying fractions quickly and accurately.

Perfect for all ability levels, this resource can be easily differentiated by selecting the fraction sets most suitable for your learners.
