Hello 6A! Seeing as we have been focusing on fractions over the past few weeks, your homework task this week in maths is to complete some fractions games online, to practice applying some of the knowledge about fractions that you have learned.
You must try at least 2 (or more!) of the game to play, and try to play a little each day – even 10 minutes is perfect.
Dolphin Racing – practice comparing different fraction sizes http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/game/ma17frac-game-dolphin-racing-fractions
Fraction Matcher – matching written and picture fractions : https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/fraction-matcher/latest/fraction-matcher_en.html
Equivalent Fractions – practice putting fractions on number line: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=Fractionsv7
Improper and mixed fractions: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=Fractionsv7
Fraction Beach – Practice writing fractions: http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/me3us/flash/lessonLauncher.html?lesson=lessons/10/m3_10_00_x.swf
Fraction Flags – make flags with the correct amount of coloured parts : http://flash.topmarks.co.uk/2509
Ordering Fractions from smallest to biggest : https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?b=maths/fractions
Practice lots of fraction skills with these two excellent games:
TreeFrog –http://play.centerforgamescience.org/treefrog/
Creature Capture – http://play.centerforgamescience.org/creaturecapture/
Record your progress on your homework sheet, including which game you found more helpful any why, and what you used to help you complete the game.
For example:
“I played Fraction Matcher and Creature Capture. The first game helped me practice linking symbols like 1/2, 3/4 to a picture example of that fraction. I liked Creature Capture best though, because that let me practice a lot of different skills with fractions, and it was really fun! You could also play it multiplayer so I was able to play it with my friends too.”
Have fun! I look forward to hearing about your favourite games next week.
