Activity 1.7 Darts
Student's Page
The object of the Darts game is to "pop" balloons located on a number line. The Darts are "thrown" by entering a number in fractional form.  Here is a glimpse of a game in progress. Two darts (3/4 & 5/8) have been thrown so far. Notice that 3/4 is too big and 5/8 is too small.
