🍰 Fraction Forge
Add fraction shards to fill the core exactly to the target line. The core is marked in a common denominator, so you can see which fractions are equal.

What it practises
- Maths calculation: Arithmetic, fractions, ratios, powers and number bases at a steady pace.
- Concepts & theory: The science and maths behind the game: reflection, orbits, waves, circuits, ciphers.
Games are good for calculation speed and accuracy. Mathematical concepts still need teaching and explanation.
Quick lesson: Equivalent fractions
Fractions that look different can be the same amount: 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6. To add fractions, rewrite them with a common denominator, then add the tops: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
Check question
What is 1/4 + 1/2?
- 2/6
- 3/4
- 1/6
- 2/4
Answer: 3/4. 1/2 = 2/4, so 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4. You add the tops, not the bottoms.

- Sum Surge: Tap tiles that add up to the target number. Hit it exactly to clear them; go over and start again. Two tiles at first, then three and four.
- Multiply Matrix: Multiplication with the area model. Small facts show a grid of cells; bigger ones split into tens and ones so the rectangle breaks into easy parts.
- Number Line Runner: Tap when the runner reaches the target number. Only a few marks are labelled: whole numbers first, then negatives, decimals and fractions.
- Graph Hunter: Plot coordinates to hit drones. One quarter of the grid, then all four, then points on a straight line.
- Ratio Reactor: Mix coolant in the right ratio. Scale a recipe up, find an equivalent ratio, or share a total between two tanks.
- Percent Patch: Patch the shield to the right value: percentages of an amount, then increases and decreases, then “what percent is it?”.
