Educational Insights Fraction Formula™ Game

With the Fraction Formula™ game, you can:

  • Learn about fractions and equivalencies in a fun and engaging way.
  • Build to one whole by dropping different fraction tiles into the cylinder and seeing how many combinations add up to 1.
  • Build equivalencies by comparing fractions in two different cylinders and seeing how many of one fraction it takes to equal another.
  • The game comes with 4 cylinders, 52 fraction game cards, 52 fizzy fraction tiles, and 20 scoring cards.
  • It is designed for 2-4 players ages 8 and up.
  • The object of the game is to get the closest to 1 in each round without going over 1. The player with the most points after 4 rounds wins the game.

How to Play Fraction Formula™
Playerstaketurns:1.

atthefractionshown(seeFigure2)
thentakingthatzzyfractiontilefromthecenter•

Oneachturn,aplayermaychoosewhetherornottotakeacard.Ifaplayertakesa2.
card,thatplayermustputtherepresentedzzyfractiontileinhis/hercylinder.Ifa
playerchoosesnottotakeacard,heorshesays“hold”andplaymovestothenext
player.Onceallplayershavesaid“hold,”theroundisover.Ifanyplayer’stilesgo
overthe1onthecylinder,thatplayerisdoneforthatround.
Whentheroundisover,playerscomparetheircylinderstoseewhoisclosestto1.

Eachplayerearnsscoringcard(s)accordingtohisorherscore:
Player Position Points Earned
1stplace(playerwhoisclosestto1) 20

3rdplace 10
4thplace 5
Anyplayerwhowentover1 0

Ifthereisatie,twoplayersearnthatscoreandnoplayerearnsthenextscore

Iftheothertwoplayersdidnotgoover1,thenthenexthighestplayerearns10
pointsandthelastplayerearns5points.
