Game: ROCK FALL
Aim: Smash all the falling rocks
Method:
Click / tap on each falling rock. Answer the question in the box as quickly as you can.
There are only 4 questions in this game so it is quite short... if you can get those rocks!
Your final score is based on number of questions answered right / wrong, and the time taken.
2nd grade / Fractions / Fractions and decimals / Order fractions from smallest to largest
Knowing which fraction is biggest or smallest is not always obvious. If we compare fractions that have the same number on the bottom (the denominator) like β , β and β , then the bigger the number on the top (the numerator) the bigger the fraction is.
If we compare β , β and β , we can see that all those fractions have the same denominator of 5. The numerators are 4, 3 and 2. So we can say that to arrange those fractions in order from smallest to biggest will be :
β β β
There is another type of fraction that we need to talk about, unit fractions.
A unit fraction is the name for a fraction where the number on the top is a 1.
So Β½ is a unit fraction and so are β and β but β is not because it's numerator is not 1, it is 2.
Arranging unit fractions from smallest to biggest is not as easy as our first example. If we think about the two most common unit fractions, ΒΌ and Β½, we will see why. Which is bigger, ΒΌ of a cake or Β½ a cake? The answer is that Β½ a cake is bigger than ΒΌ of a cake even though the denominator of Β½, which is 2, is smaller than the denominator of ΒΌ, which is 4.
So, when we are asked to arrange fractions which are unit fractions, we have to remember that we need to compare the denominators, but that the fractions with the biggest denominators are the smallest fractions. If we are asked to arrange β β β in order from smallest to largest, we compare the denominators and order the fractions with the bigger denominators first and those fractions with the smaller denominators last. Arranging β β β in order from smallest to largest gives :
β β β
With our Rock fall math game you will be practicing the topic "Order fractions from smallest to largest" from 2nd grade / Fractions / Fractions and decimals. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to re-arrange each set of fractions so that they are listed from smallest to largest.
ROCK FALL is based on the road traffic warning sign for falling rocks - a sign that seems a bit less useful than somebody getting up there on that cliff and actually doing something about it... Anyway, the rocks are falling and it is your job to stop them hitting the road below, or at least stopping them hitting the road below too many times and breaking it. Smash the rocks by clicking or tapping on them (not so easy in real life of course) - they will turn into snowflakes and float gently down into nothing.
There are 4 rocks to stop and not much time to do it (if you want to get a good score and get on the leaderboard). This game is fun and fast and requires good reflexes and a good strategy. Plan to break the smaller rocks first if you want a good score because the rocks fall faster as the game progresses. It also helps to decide where on their path you plan to click / tap the rocks.

There are rocks falling from an unstable cliff. You need to break the rocks by clicking / tapping on them...
