KS2 Arithmetic Fractions Game

A board game to practice fractions questions for KS2 SATs arithmetic paper.

Questions covered include:

• Fractions of amounts
• Addition and subtraction fractions
• Multiplication and division fractions

What the resource contains:

• A game board (to be printed in b/w but looks best printed on green paper/card)
• 2 types of “self regenerating” question cards, Trail cards and shortcut cards.

Other resources needed to play the game:

• A dice
• Counters
• Paper/mini whiteboard and pen

How to set up the game:

• Game board printed onto green card or paper and laminated for longevity.
• Question cards printed onto coloured card (use a different colour for each type to avoid confusion). Cards have a front and a back and if printed double sided line up neatly - Check printer settings to ensure printing is the correct way around.
• Each game will need one dice (normal 6-sided will suffice, could use 10-sided for a quicker game). And I suggest upto 3 players, I think it is better with 2 although could be used with upto 4, so you will need the required number of counters.

How to play:

• Place the two piles of question cards face down on the table (so you can’t see the questions)
• Players place their counters on the START space.
• First player roll the dice and move forward the number shown.
• Check what is on the space they have landed on, if it is blank then it’s the next players turn, if not they need to:
  1. If it has a message written on the space, do as it says.
  2. If it has footprints, answer a Trail card question (another player of the game must read out the question for them to answer and tell them if they are correct) The card will direct what the player must do next.
  3. If it has a “S”, answer a shortcut question (another player of the game must read out the question for them to answer and tell them if they are correct) The card will direct what the player must do next, to follow the shortcut they must go where the arrow is pointing.
• Each player only has one go at a time i.e. only roll the dice once and answer one question per go.
• Players take it in turns in a clockwise order.
• The winner is the first to reach the FINISH space.
