HOW TO PLAY
The Cards
MathSmart Fraction Subtraction (with common denominator) consists
of 96
blue cards. Each card is divided into two parts. The
right side
of the card contains a fractional equation; the left
side of the card
contains the answer to a fractional equation and is
enclosed in a circle.
Object Of The Game
The object of the game is to connect the equation to its correct answer
or the correct answer to its corresponding equation. A maximum of
three cards can be connected into the answer side (the number in the
circle) but only one card can be connected into the equation side of
the
card.
To Start
Remove cards from carton and mix thoroughly. For best results, lay
cards face down on the table and mix by moving them around on
table.
The dealer will give each player five cards. The
remaining cards will be
placed face down on the table. The player
holding the card with the
highest number in the circle starts the game.
In case of a tie, the players
with the same highest number will draw one
card each from the
remaining deck. The player drawing the highest
number in the circle
starts the game. Cards used to break the tie
are discarded.
To Play
The first player chooses a card from his/her hand and places it face up
on the table. Clockwise or counterclockwise, each player in turn
connects one card in their hand to a card on the table, matching either
the answer to the equation side of the card or the equation to the
answer
side of the card. Once a card has been played, its position
cannot be
changed. Cards cannot overlap.
If the player does not have a connecting card to play, he/she must
discard all or any number of cards they are holding and draw from the
remaining deck the same number of cards they discarded. If the
player
has only one card left in his/her hand, the card must be changed. Play
resumes with the next player.
If the remaining deck of cards runs out, shuffle the discarded cards and
use them again.
How The Game Ends
The game ends when one player runs out of cards in his/her hand.
Scoring
Players will decide among themselves the required number of points
the
winner must accumulate before the game is in progress. For
example,
the winner must accumulate 10 points or 50 points. The
score of the
player who finishes the game first is equal to the total
number of cards
left in his/her opponents' hands. The rest of the
players will deduct from
their score the number equal to the number of
cards left on their hands.
To Win
The player to reach the agreed upon number of points is the winner.
A Word About "MathSmart Fraction"
Though each set of fractional operations represent a fractional skill
level,
it also allows players the opportunity to improve their
fractional skills
in all fractional operations and provides them a
variety of games.
For example, you can play the game by
combining more than one set of
MathSmart Fraction, like MathSmart
Fraction Addition (with common
denominator) and MathSmart Fraction
Subtraction.
