Description
Are you ready for some football?
How about a fun way for your students to practice the skills of converting between fractions and decimals? Try the math activity on this file perfect for those months before, during, and after the football season. Just print and play!
Three different sets of recording sheets and game cards are included on this file. I prefer to use the first set as an introductory, whole-class activity, and then use the second and third sets as a learning center for the remainder of the season or month. An additional file with Sets 4, 5, & 6 is available for purchase to extend the fun well into the season.
This whole-class activity or learning center is perfect during any month of the school year. Students play by solving problems on game cards or recording sheets, as determined by the amount of time the teacher has available in preparation for this fun activity. Once a problem has been solved, students then self-check their answers using the provided answer keys, and if correct, they roll dice to determine a football action. These football actions can range from shorts runs and completed passes, to sacks and interceptions, to field goals and touchdowns!
This file contains:
●suggested procedures and management for both methods of play (whole-class and learning center)
●2 Football Frenzy game boards… they differ only in the color of footballs.
●2 dice charts, one with 11 different football outcomes, one with 6 different football outcomes
●2 paper-clip spinners, one with 11 different football outcomes, one with 6 different football outcomes
●3 converting fractions to decimals recording sheets with corresponding answer keys for the students to record their answers to the various questions they will solve during the game (and for teachers to have answer documentation)
●3 converting decimals to fractions recording sheets with corresponding answer keys for the students to record their answers to the various questions they will solve during the game (and for teachers to have answer documentation)
●3 sets of 16 converting fractions to decimals question cards and 16 corresponding answer cards
●3 sets of 16 converting decimals to fractions question cards and 16 corresponding answer cards
●1 set of blank recording sheets and answer keys
●1 set of 32 blank question cards and 32 blank answer cards
Your students are certain to have a fun time playing this game, all the while sharpening their ability to convert between fractions and decimal numerals.
Enjoy!

CCSS5.NF.B.3
Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (𝘢/𝘣 = 𝘢 ÷ 𝘣). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
CCSS6.NS.C.6c
Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
CCSS4.NF.C.6
Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
