Fraction Fling
Fraction Fling is an educational game where kids must match fractions to a model. A model will be presented at the top of the screen and fractions will be floating in bubbles. Kids must first pop the bubble which contains the fraction and then hit the actual fraction to answer the question. There are five fun and challenging rounds and a reporting tool to see how many questions were answered. Players can also opt to use mixed fractions while playing. The game is over when players complete all five rounds or run out of rocks to fling
Fractions Game: This applet allows students to individually practice working with relationships among fractions and ways of combining fractions. For a two person version of this applet see the Fraction Track E‑Example.

Games like Sushi Fractions, Fraction Dolphins and more!
Identify Fractions with a Number Line
Fraction Models: Explore different representations for fractions including improper fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percentages. Additionally, there are length, area, region, and set models. Adjust numerators and denominators to see how they alter the representations and models. Use the table to keep track of interesting fractions.
Tony's Pizza:
Concentration:
By yourself or against a friend, match whole numbers, shapes, fractions, or multiplication facts to equivalent representations. Practice with the clear panes or step up the challenge with the windows closed. How many socks can you win?
Equivalent Fractions: Create equivalent fractions by dividing and shading squares or circles, and match each fraction to its location on the number line.
Fractions Mystery: challenging
Find Gramps Hide and Seek: Grampy's favorite game is hide and seek. He is hiding at a fractional distance between the beginning and the end of the hedge.The picture tells you the number of parts the hedge is divided into. The number of parts is the denominator of the fraction. Grampy is hiding behind one of those parts. The part he is hiding behind is the numerator of the fraction. You are to guess which part he is hiding behind. You may enter only the numerator of the fractional distance where Grampy is hiding.

Tony's Pizza:
- Step 1.) Read the client order. A sample client order might read “I’ll have a large pizza, 1/2 pepperoni, 2/5 mushrooms and 1/10 bacon”
- Step 2.) Select pizza size. In this case, select “large”. This will cause the denominator to change to 10, as a large pizza has ten slices.
- Step 3 and 4.) Select toppings. First, click on pepperoni and apply to half of the pizza (5 slices). Next, click on mushrooms and apply it to 2/5 of the pizza (4 slices). Finally, click on bacon and apply it to 1/10 of the pizza (1 slice). NOTE – if you make a mistake, select a different pizza size and then re-select the original pizza size to get a new pizza.
- Step 5) Click on “send”. If you are correct, you will make a sale. Incorrect pizzas will cost you! Enjoy the game!.

- Grammy will help by pointing to your right if the fraction is too small and to your left if the fraction is too large.
- Grampy does not hide himself well. You will see the top of his head behind the hedge.
- The computer will keep track of the number of times you find Grampy and the number of tries. Have fun!
