Decide upon values for the face cards. These can vary depending on your goals. For example Jack=11, Queen=12, King=0, Ace=1 and leave the jokers out. 2. Students play in pairs. Begin by shuffling the deck and dealing all cards out to the two players. This game is played quite similarly to traditional "war". 3. The players each turn a card over at the same time. The first person to correctly state the product they see wins the two cards. (For example 9 times 2 is 18.) 4. If there is a tie in naming the product "war" begins. Each player places 2 cards face down, then they simultaneously turn 1 card face up. This continues until one of the players is quicker in giving the number sentence and product. The winner gets to keep all cards that were placed on the table. 5. Play ends when either player has all the cards or after an allotted time. The winner is the player with the most cards. Eight Equivalents Materials number cube Step 1 Create a fraction by tossing the number cube two times and putting the lesser number as the numerator. Step 2 Take turns naming equivalent fractions until there are 6 fractions. Step 3 Start again by tossing the number cube to make a new fraction. Ocho equivalentes Materiales dado Paso 1 Lance el dado dos veces para crear una fraccion. El numero menor sera el numerador. Paso 2 Por turnos, nombren fracciones equivalentes hasta completar 6 fracciones Paso 3 Lancen el dado de nuevo para formar una nueva fraccion.
