French Teaching Resources. Numbers, Fractions & Statistics Matching Cards

These matching cards can be used either to elicit numbers, fractions and statistics or to revise previous learning. It can be used at the beginning of the year or throughout the year as a warmer/ starter activity.

Expressions:

Une moitié.
Un tiers.

You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example,
Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation.
Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory.
Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French.

Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
