Chess and Fractions


Students have been practicing lots of fraction and other skills. It's been a bit dry as students complete this practice online and offline. So as I prepped the review of fractions, I wanted to make the activity a bit more playful, hence I created a fraction review packet that reviews the game of chess. We'll practice fractions, review chess game rules, and then students will have the time to practice the game online and offline. This will provide students with the opportunity to build mathematical thinking both with the review packet and by playing chess too.
