Summary

You only have six digits to form three fractions. Can you combine them to get to 0?

  1. First students will try to create fractions that will get them to 0.
  2. Now, using the same digits, students will try to create fractions that will get them to 1.
  3. Students try to get as close as possible to 1/2 – without actually reaching it.
  4. Now they'll try to get as close as possible to 0 – without actually reaching it.
  5. Then they try to get as close as possible to 1 – without actually reaching it.
  6. Finally, students chose their own denominators to try to add up to 1/5.
