Nice warm-up
A bit trickier

Make fractions concrete and understandable through interactive visual exercises. Children work with parts of a whole, compare fractions, and begin to grasp equivalence. Difficulty levels progress from identifying simple fractions to comparing and ordering them.
Remember: the bottom number (denominator) tells you how many equal parts the whole is split into, and the top number (numerator) tells you how many parts you have.
Pizza slices, measuring cups, and half-price sales are fractions. Naming parts of a whole shows up in cooking and sport stats.
Who it suits: Fractions games are most valuable for children in Grades 3-6 (ages 8-12). Grade 3 learners should start with Easy mode, which covers halves, quarters, and thirds. Grade 4-5 learners can tackle comparing and ordering fractions. Grade 6 learners will benefit from the harder equivalent fractions content.

Fractions are one of the biggest stumbling blocks in primary school mathematics, and research shows that a child's fraction understanding in Grade 4 is a strong predictor of their overall maths achievement in secondary school. Children who genuinely understand fractions — not just the rule for writing them — have a much easier time with percentages, decimals, ratio, and algebra.

The most damaging fraction misconception is that the fraction with the bigger numbers is always larger (for example, assuming 3/8 is bigger than 1/2 because 3 and 8 are bigger than 1 and 2). Children need to understand that the denominator defines the size of each piece, so bigger denominators mean smaller pieces. Visual area models — drawing the fractions as parts of a rectangle — are the most reliable way to correct this misconception.
