The document discusses using an instructional game called Action Fraction Race Car Game to teach fractions to students in grades 5-8. It summarizes research showing fractions are difficult for students to master and retention is increased through activity-rich lessons. The game aims to improve understanding of fractions by making lessons more engaging through a hands-on, competitive experience with feedback. It progressively increases in difficulty through multiple levels. The teacher's role is to ensure students understand rules and do not spend too much time playing. Both advantages like improved problem-solving and automaticity, and disadvantages like potential boredom or negative attitudes are discussed.
