      4.NF.2  Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Differentiation: For gifted students, change the required amount of pizzas in a row, column, or diagonal.
  •  
    In this activity students are to compare fractions and capture/eat the most pizzas.

      6.RP.3  Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems Differentiation: For gifted students or younger students you could change the percentage amount to make it easier or more challenging to figure out the "winner's tax."
  •  
    In this game students roll a dice and depending on the number they rool they put that many chips in a cup.  At the end of each round the students must count up their chips and winners must put a 20% "winner's tax" back into the cup for the next game.

      2.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value. Differentiation: For younger students, use place value cards and base 10 materials.  Using these manipulatives have students add and find place value with mats.
  •  
    In this game 2-3 players will work to find place value and sum using dice.

      4.G.2  Classify two-dimesional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size.   Differentiation: For gifted students, the teacher could also have them create of either all complementary or all supplementary angles after the game.
  •  
    In this activity students will practice identifying complementary and supplementary angles.  Students will add the two values drawn and determine whether they are complementary or supplementary.

      5.NF.1  Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. Differentiation: Have gifted students go a step further.  Time them to race against each other in how fast they can collect 16 cards.  Reward PR's!
  •  
    This activity helps students to practice solving proportions.  STudents will make fractions out of playing cards and then practice making them equivalent and solving the proportion.

      4.G.1  Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines.   Identify these in two-dimensional figures. Differentiation: Pair an ELL student with a classroom "buddy."  This person can help to model the game and walk the student through the directions.  By modeling the game for the ELL student, the other student will be re-affirming their knowledge in the subject.
  •  
    This activity will help students find perimeter and area.  Students will draw a card from a bag and then use a colored pencil to draw that shape.  After time, students may flip or rotate their figures to fit on the board but figures may not overlap.  This activity makes students pay attention to precise angles and makes them think critically about a shapes sides and angles when rotating or flipping.

      6.NC.7  Understand the ordering and absolute value of rational numbers. Differentiation: Instead of being forced to ask and answer questions about a number an ELL student and his or her partner could have a message board with eachother where they could simply write #1, 100?  Using math as the universal language the students can ask questions without using the english words. 
  •  
    Students will practice comparing and ordering integers by writing two different integers in a box.  The player's partner must ask yes or no questions about the integer such as; "are both of your numbers positive?" or "Is your second number greater than 10?"

      5.NBT.7  add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies  Differentiation: Have gifted students multiply up to three dominoes or divide the numbers instead
  •  
    In this activity students will practice multiplying decimals.  Students will cut out dominoes and use each domino to create a decimal number  (ie 2 dots on one side and three on the other equals 2.3 or 3.2).  Next students will draw another domino and multiply the two numbers.

  •  
    This activity allows students to practice dividing with single digit divisors.  In partners, students will practice division using playing cards.  students will draw a certain amount of cards (free choice) and divide the the number each player's game piece is on.  Each player is to be checking the other player's division with a calculator.

      4.NBT.5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one digit whole number, and multiply two two digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Differentiation: For gifted students, and students of differing levels, the teacher could put out flashcards with multiplication factors 2-12 or create flashcards with even higher number, allowing students to do more challenging multiplication
  •  
    This activity allows students to practice identifying multiplication facts with flashcards without the boring "drill and kill" method.

      4.NBT.4 Fluently add or subtract multi-digit whole numbers using standard algorithm Differentiation: For ELL students I would model the game for them, allowing them to help me show the class instead of relying on written directions to tell them how to play.
  •  
    In this activity students will practice adding two-, three-, and four-digit numbers.  Player's take turns adding numbers that they land on after rolling a dice.  Each player will also take turns checking his or her partner's answers on a calculator.
