Ping is a strategic card game that strengthens students' skills with fractions. Each card has a fractional value. In order to link one card to another, students must use the four basic operations. Included with the cards is a set of 50 Ping Pads, upon which students check the work of their opponents. The language of the game is derived from the language of computer technology, capitalizing on the popularity of the Internet.
