Proportion Game

Play this game in pairs.

What you need:

• Two 1–6 number cubes

How to play:

• Decide who goes first. In turn, each player rolls both number cubes and uses

the numbers rolled to write a ratio. For example, if a player rolls a 4 and a 6, the player

can write either 4 : 6 or 6 : 4.

• Each player then uses his or her ratio and writes as many equal ratios as

possible to form a proportion. The equal ratios must use numbers less than

100. For example, 4 : 6 is proportionate to 2 : 3, 8 : 12, 36 : 54, and so on.

• A player who rolls doubles loses a turn.

• The object of the game is to form as many correct proportions as possible.

• Play until you have rolled 10 times. Record your ratios and proportions on the lines

provided below. If you roll doubles, write “Doubles.” Use a separate sheet

of paper if necessary.

• The winner is the player with more correct proportions.
