Fraction Categorisation
Fraction Categorisation
Drag fraction cards shown as pie charts, bars, and symbols into matching piles. Group all the equivalent fractions together to clear the board.
Recognise equivalent visual representations of fractions
Compare and order fractions with the same denominator
Fraction Domino Loop
Fraction Domino Loop
Connect fraction dominos in a chain by matching equivalent values. Complete the loop to win. Each domino has two fraction halves -- find the perfect connections.
Recognise equivalent fractions using visual models
Rename fractions with common denominators
Equivalent Fractions Quiz
Equivalent Fractions Quiz
See a fraction shown visually and pick the matching answer. Multiple representations test true understanding, not just memorisation.

Rename fractions with common denominators
Fraction Wall Builder
Fraction Wall Builder
Shade fraction strips to build a visual fraction wall. Click segments to fill each row and see how halves, quarters, thirds and sixths relate to each other.
Build fraction walls to discover equivalence relationships
Simplify Snap
Simplify Snap
Two fraction cards flip. Hit SNAP if one is the simplified form of the other! Builds fluency with simplifying fractions.
Simplify fractions to their lowest terms
Fraction Families Sort
Fraction Families Sort
Drag equivalent fractions into family groups. All the halves go together (1/2, 2/4, 3/6...), all the thirds, and so on.
Group fractions into equivalent families
Simplify Builder
Simplify Builder
Given a fraction like 6/8, use the builder to find the simplest form. Adjust numerator and denominator while watching the visual model stay the same size.
Simplify fractions to lowest terms using common factors
Error Detective: Equivalence
Error Detective: Equivalence
A student made a mistake with equivalent fractions. Can you spot the error? Read their working and find what went wrong.
Identify and explain errors in equivalence reasoning
Equivalent Ordering
Equivalent Ordering
Put fractions in order, but some are equivalent! Drag cards to order from smallest to largest, noticing which fractions are equal.
Order fractions including equivalent values
Which Is Bigger? (Symbolic)
Which Is Bigger? (Symbolic)
Compare fractions using numbers only -- no pictures! Use strategies like common denominators and benchmarks to decide which is larger.
Compare fractions using common denominators and benchmarks
Fraction Ordering
Fraction Ordering
Drag fraction cards into order from smallest to largest. Start with same-denominator sets and work up to mixed denominators.
Order fractions from smallest to largest
Benchmark Fractions Sort
Benchmark Fractions Sort
Is each fraction closer to 0, 1/2, or 1? Sort fractions using benchmark values. A key strategy for estimation and comparison.
Use benchmark fractions to estimate and compare
Error Detective: Comparing
Error Detective: Comparing
Spot mistakes in fraction comparison reasoning. A student says 1/5 is bigger than 1/3 -- can you explain why they are wrong?
Identify and explain errors in fraction comparison
