Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Math Partner Scavenger Hunt Activity

Students work in partners to multiply and divide fractions in this collaborative activity. Each partner gets a clock with 12 unique fraction problems. Each partner's clock problems are different but the answers are the same, encouraging collaboration and teamwork. If one student gets stuck, the other can help. If student answers differ, they work together to figure out the correct answer before moving on to the next problem.

The activity is self-checking, providing students with instant feedback. It includes a printable version, a drag-and-drop digital version in GOOGLE Slides, student answer sheets and an answer key.

How the activity works:

Students paste their START slip at 12 o'clock, either multiply or divide its fractions and find the answer on the top of another slip. They then paste this next slip at 1 o'clock and solve its problem. Each answer students find will lead to the next pair of fractions to multiply or divide.

Students complete all 12 problems until they get back to 12 o'clock. If all fractions have been multiplied or divided correctly, the answer from the problem at 11 o'clock will be at the top of their START slip.

*This activity can also be given to individual students to complete. To use it this way, give each student one of the clocks. The activity is still self-checking. For the GOOGLE Slides version, make a copy of the activity and delete the second clock before sending to students.
