You could choose to have students pick 2 fractions or you could pick the 2 fractions for them.
Each day of the week the students have a different task to complete with the 2 fractions. There are so many different ways you could use this. For example, you could assign it Monday and say that it is due Friday and the students could complete it on their own time. You could use it as a warm-up every day of the week.
This could also be changed to focus on whatever it is you are focusing on with fractions. For example, if you haven't taught adding and subtracting fractions yet, you could just customize it to fit what your students have learned.
The way that I have set mine up is the following:
Monday - model the 2 fractions
Tuesday - compare the 2 fractions
Wednesday - find 3 equivalent fractions for each one
Thursday - add the 2 fractions
Friday - subtract the 2 fractions
I have included some basic fraction strips that could be used, but if students pick their own fractions and use a different denominator they won't be able to use that virtual tool.
