Pirates’ Gold Fraction Booklet and Task Cards
Your students will love this simple story that rhymes (sometimes). It is centered around fractions with a denominator of eight. In the story Captain Kate counts eight gold, zero silver, and zero bronze coins. The task cards that go with this part of the story ask students to show the fractions for the crew member’s mix of coins. What fraction of the eight are gold? Silver? Bronze?
Later, during a storm, coins fall out of Captain Kate’s bag. Task cards ask students to show the fraction that fell out and the fraction of coins that stayed inside the bags.
Free during October! A great twist on the Pieces of Eight math game.
