Our fraction bar tool allows you to visually break down fractions into various segments. Color these segments and challenge your students to identify the fraction represented. The 'check' button reveals the numerical fraction, providing instant feedback and reinforcing learning.

Bringing Fractions to Life with Everyday Objects

We understand that fractions can be an abstract concept for students. That's why our lessons incorporate everyday items like eggs and marbles to make fractions tangible and relatable. Starting with concrete examples, we gradually guide students towards more abstract understanding, using word problems and real-life scenarios, like determining the colors of horses, to apply their knowledge.


Engaging Fraction Games: Learning Through Play

Our 'Fraction Flags' game transforms fractions into a colorful and interactive challenge. Students fill a grid with colors based on given fractions, blending art with math to strengthen their understanding.

'Bubble: Fraction' is another hit, where students match bubbles to the correct fraction. Each correct answer grows the bubble, adding a fun twist to the challenge.

These games are designed to make fractions approachable and enjoyable, helping your students build confidence in their skills.
