There are five levels to work through. In level 1 you simply type in the number of children to share the pizza and the pizza will be cut into fractions for you. At Level 2 you drag fractions to complete a fraction wall. In Level 3 you have to count the number of shaded squares and the total number of squares then type in the fraction (use a slash e.g. 1/4). Level 4 introduces a fraction numberline for you to drag the fractions onto. Level 5 uses a pizza to illustrate fraction equivalences.
Use visual representations of two fractions to find a common denominator. Write the two fractions as equivalences with the common denominator. Place the fractions on a number line. Find new fractions between the two original fractions.
good website that students can visually see groups of fractions. It has explanations for equivalent fractions, reducing, improper and proper, multiplying and addition of fractions.
You can choose from easy or hard levels. The aim of the game is to compare the fractions and click on the one with the highest value. In the easy level you have four to choose from, but in the harder level you have six fractions to choose from
Help a town planner to design a site plan for a city. Assign regions on a 10x20 grid for different uses such as factories, hospitals or parks. Calculate the percentage and the fraction of the total site used for each region. Use a number line to display fractions and equivalent decimals. This learning object is one in a series of three objects combined as 'Neighbourhood fractions'.
"The word on the street is that Fraction Jackson is a dog
who loves pie (pi?). If you answer 24 problems correctly, you can put your name
on Jackson's list of Master Pie Bakers"
Help a town planner to design a site plan for a school. Using a 10x10 grid, design areas for four regions (library, car park, lawn and canteen) based on the percentages given. Assign the area for an additional two regions, using percentages of your choice. Use a number line to indicate the equivalent fractions for two regions. This learning object is one in a series of two objects. The series is also packaged as a combined learning object.
