    This document describes a card game called "Make One" that can be played with 2-4 students to practice operations with fractions. Each player is dealt 5 cards from a deck containing fractions and whole numbers. The objective is to use as many of the cards as possible to make a numerical expression that equals one, using the four basic operations. Players earn points based on the number of cards used. The game continues until all cards are drawn, and the player with the most points wins. Variations include using a target number other than one or having all players show their cards simultaneously to be first to make one.

    Make One

    Author: Don Buckeye


    Grade Level: 5-10
    Description: A card game using fractions.
    Objective: To review the four basic operations with fractions.
    Resources/Materials:
    Preparation of cards: The deck should contain the following 36 cards:
    Two of each of the following:
    1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6,1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8,
    and 7/8.
    One of each of the following eleven cards:
    3/2, 4/3, 8/3, 6/5, 8/5, 8/7, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
    Activities/Procedures: This card game can be played by 2-4 students.
    Rules: Shuffle well and deal 5 cards face up to each player
    The object of the game is to add, subtract, multiply, and divide the numbers on the 5
    cards to "make one" by using as many cards as possible.
    For example, if a player has a 1/2 and a 2/4 card, he may add them to "make one." This
    player earns 2 points because he used 2 cards to "make one." Another example: a player
    may have a 4/6, 1/3, 2/8, 2 and 8. He may play all 5 cards in this manner: (4/6 + 1/3) x
    [ (8 x 2/8) / 2]. He would receive 5 points.
    Players should not announce their result until all players have had a reasonable time to
    "make one." At the end of each round, each player draws as many additional cards from
    the deck as he used to "make one." If a player cannot "make one" by using his cards - and
    that is highly unlikely - he may place any two cards from his hand at the bottom of the
    deck and draw two from the top of the deck. This can be done at the end of a round
    instead of "making one."
    Play continues in this manner until all the cards are gone from the deck. The winner is the
    player with the most number of points when the deck is gone. As a variation, the winner
    can be the first player to score 23 points.

    Evaluation: Each student should check the other answers.


    Follow-Up Activities:
    Variations:
    1. Play as above. Instead of "making one" each player selects a "target" card from
    his hand. He next trios to combine as many of the remaining four cards as
    possible to equal the "target" card. His score on a given play is the number of
    cards used to form the number on the target card.
    2. Shuffle well and deal 5 cards to each player. At a given signal, all players turn
    their cards face up. The object is to use all five cards to "make one." The first
    player to "make one" scores one point. Should player give a wrong solution, he is
    penalized 2 points. The first player
