Mathgames.com has a variety of math games for students to utilize, which is broken up by grade level. In the beginning stages of teaching this standard, it would be really helpful to review some very general things regarding fractions--ex: looking at a model and determining what fraction is shown in the game "Identify Fractions up to Tenths". This would allow for review for students who have it down, and would allow for additional practice for students who need a refresher on the more basic facts.

Funbrain has a plethora of math games to fit many standards, but this particular game, "Fresh Baked Fractions", helps students to apply their knowledge in order to determine which fraction is not equivalent when presented with four fractions with varying denominators. This activity really enforces this level of Bloom's Taxonomy,, because it encourages the student to apply and implement the facts and concepts that they know.

This game allows students to truly analyze the various fractions presented and to differentiate between the fractions and organize them according to equivalence. This game also incorporates visual fraction models which reinforces the understanding of what equivalence means. I'd use this game once students have become more comfortable with the notion of equivalent fractions, as judging which fractions are equivalent from a larger number presented might be too overwhelming at the beginning.

In this activity, "Balloon Pop Fractions", students are to judge between 2 fractions and determine which fraction is larger. This activity meets the standard which wants students to compare fractions by looking at their size; the fractions as well as a unit fraction model are provided for this activity. In this way, students are able to determine by reasoning about the number of parts within a whole which fraction is greater than the other.

ABCya.com has many resources available for math games and specifically for fraction instruction. For the 'create' level, I found that the virtual manipulatives that they have that allow for students to click and manipulate with halves, thirds, fourths, twelfths, etc. would be extremely helpful. I would use this tool by showing students on the board a fraction: ex: 3/4. I would then tell them to utilize their virtual manipulative fraction bars to create an equivalent fraction to 3/4. This gives the students the chance to create their own equivalent fractions and to use their knowledge in order to solve the problem. This site could also be useful in having students pick 2 fractions and to represent them in the fraction bars in order to compare their sizes.
