2019 Summer Game #9: Percentages Memory

July 23, 2019 by Teresa Foltin

Like all memory games, Percentages Memory, game F46 in the Math Card Games book, is short and to the point. And very satisfying. The goal is to match common fractions with their corresponding percentages. Since percentages surround us every day, it is very handy to have this information available for recall.

In addition to specific percentage and fraction cards, you will also want a fraction chart available: we have plastic charts, laminated charts, and the new wooden puzzle fractions! You can have your children make their own chart or provide a copy of the chart found on p148 of the Math Card Games book.

This game is for two players or two teams. The players should be sitting side by side. Use the following 24 cards from the fraction deck:
1, 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1/10, 3/10, 7/10, 9/10, and
10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 100%.
Add in 1/3, 2/3, 33-1/3% and 66-2/3% when the players are comfortable with the first group of pairs.

Place the shuffled fraction cards face down in three rows of four cards and similarly the percent cards nearby.

My friend’s children were visiting this past weekend. Here Gianna and Kolbe have already started playing. Gianna turned over the 1/5 card and said “1/5 equals 20%.” She then turned over a percent card hoping for 20% but got 25% instead.

Now it is Kolbe’s turn. Kolbe found a match. 7/10 does equal 70%.

Since he made this match, he tries again but 1/4 does not equal 90%.

Now it is Gianna’s turn again. She found 1/4 and 25%. Yes!

She gets to go again and was lucky enough to find 1/10 and 10%. Even though she made a second match her turn is over. (This keeps one players from getting a lucky streak and gathering all the pairs in one turn.)

The game continued until all matches were made. Normally, the winner is the one with the most cards but in this case, there was a tie and both kids eagerly wanted to play again. They decided to go for the best of five games! By the time those games were over, they had these fractions and percentages down pat!

Now go play this game with your kids. Or the neighbor’s kids! Have fun learning!

    Can you send me the link to the placement test? Theresa gave me a link for a test that my kids can take. It went through all levels and they needed to get a min. of a certain number wrong. I can’t find the link she gave me. Becky

What our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.

My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
