Fraction Track





In this 2-player online game, students must add, compare, and find equivalent fractions in order to race across a series of 0-1 number lines.  Here are the details:
  • There are 7 number lines from 0 to 1.
  • Your goal is to get all 7 of your objects to the end of your lines.
  • There is a timer so you have to think quickly.
  • You begin at 0. A card appears with a fraction on it. Let's say it is 3/6. You can move 3 spaces on the 6ths line. Or you can
  • move to 1/2.
  • You can also split up your move. Since 3/6 = 2/6 + 1/6 and it can also equal 1/3 + 1/6, you can move to 1/3 and 1/6 on their respective lines. That's enough information to get started. Play a couple of practice games to learn what's possible.

    Today 4/6 is working part time at the Fraction Track on the playing board at two positions, 2/3 and 4/6.
