What You Need:

• Three six-sided dice
• See through tape 
• Fraction Wall Game Board
• A colored pencil, crayon, or marker for each player. (Note: We like to use colored pencils just in case a player makes a mistakes and shades in a fraction wrong, it can be easily corrected.) 

Preparation: 

• Print off a fraction wall game board for each player. 
• Print out the nurmbers to place on dice faces, and cut out along the dashed lines.
• After cutting dice numbers along dashed lines, tape one number to each of the six faces of one die. These six numbers will represent the denominators of the fractions, so we'll refer to this one die as the "denominator" dice.

Game Rules: 

• "Version 1" - "Color Me Crazy" Fraction Wall Game 
• Player 1 rolls the "denominator" dice, and the number rolled represents the denominator of their fraction for this round. 
• Next, player 1 rolls the other two dice to get their numerator. The player has the option of either adding the numbers on the two dice or subtracting the numbers on the two dice. Note: The numerator has to be smaller than the denominator for this game, so adding the two numbers or subtracting the two numbers may make a difference. Let's say for example, they roll a 4 for their denominator. Next, they roll the two dice for their numerator, and the two numbers showing on the dice are 5 and 3. Since 5 + 3 is larger than the denominator, they will have to subtract: 5 - 2 which would give them a 2 for their numerator. Their fraction would therefore be 2/4.
• After the player comes up with their fraction, they try to color in empty spaces in any row that equals their fraction. The spaces all have to be next to each other in order for them to be able to color in the fraction. 
• If there is no available space on the fraction wall to color the fraction in, they do nothing, and play goes to the next player.
• Play continues clockwise in the same manner to each of the players.
• Players continue taking turns and the first player to color in their fraction completely is the winner!  

Extra Notes:

• Each row on the game board equals one-whole. 
• Players may color any equivalent fraction on their game board that matches the fraction on their roll. For example, if a player's fraction is a 1/2, they can color a 1/2 rectangle, 2/4 rectangle, or 4/8 rectangle, etc.
