Thirty-four games for use with Fraction Bars and Fraction Playing Cards are at the end of the lessons, and 15 black and white masters for use with the lessons are at the end of the guide. All program components, such as Fraction Bars, Fraction Playing Cards, games, activity mats, and activity sheets are referenced at point-of-use in each step. |
