Riordan's Math Monsters

You have the task of creating a monster using only your fraction circles.

1. Take out a clean sheet of white construction paper.

2. Your paper can be set up either horizontally or vertically.

3. Use pieces of your fraction circle set and arrange them into a shape that is creepy.

4. Trace your pieces very carefully.

5. Color your monster to make it “appealing”.

6. Your job is to “name” your monster with a fraction or mixed number name:

a. Place a piece of light paper over top and identify each fraction piece.

b. Add all of your fractions together, using a calculator to find the name.

c. Place the fraction name on the back and a “word” name on the front.

Good Luck and HAVE FUN!
