Fun Ways to Practice Simplifying Fractions

Math man  (Reducing Fractions)

Work on simplifying (reducing)  fractions in Pacman Style! 

At the bottom of the game screen, the player is told the fraction they must simplify. To answer the question, they must eat the ghost showing the correct answer.

Just like in the original Pacman game, don't let the ghosts catch you! And, to add to the fun, don't eat the ghost with the incorrect fraction answer. 

I love how this game progresses in difficulty with each level passed. It makes it perfect for getting students into the game and working up to a level that is challenging enough for them.

This is a fun game to play with a partner or in teams. Teams take turns to reduce the fraction given. If done correctly, they will earn points for their team. 

This game can be played on computers, tablets or phones. 

CLICK  HERE TO PLAY!

Catapults 

This is another great game to play with a partner or in teams. Each team has a castle. The goal is to destroy the other teams' castles first. 

Launch catapults to destroy other castles by reducing the fractions correctly. 

Multiple choices are given in this game. Players will be prompted to keep selecting until the correct answer is chosen. However, only if they answered correctly on their first attempt will they be able to do damage to an opponent's castle.

Mastering how to simplify fractions is a key skill required throughout studying fractions within a unit and in higher grades. However, the 'traditional basic drill worksheets will make your kids lose focus easily, and will make the exercise feel like a chore. But, getting lots of practice with simplifying fractions doesn't have to be a bore! This week, I've compiled some fun games kids can explore to work on this skill. The three games outlined are easily accessed through your web browser for FREE! Check them out below.

You may also like these simplifying fraction focused math mysteries . . .

If you are looking for a way to get more fun simplifying fraction practice for your kids, you may also like the Math Mystery 'Case of The Shogun's Sword.' Students must simplify fractions to discover important clues that will help them solve who stole the Shogun's Sword. Available in three different versions for you to choose the level of difficulty you would like. The clues are interchangeable between grade levels for easy customization and differentiation.
