Game: SOW GROW
Aim: To grow and gather sunflowers
Method:
Look at and listen to each math question. Click/tap on the pot that has the right answer. Expand answers if necessary using the magnifying glass buttons.
Correct answers water the seedling which grows, blooms and the flower is cut for the vase. Continue until you have collected the given number of flowers.
2nd grade / Fractions / Compare fractions / Which fraction is bigger?
Knowing which fraction is bigger or smaller 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 to β , we can see that these two fractions have the same denominator of 5. The numerators are 4 and 2. So we can say that β is the bigger of these two fractions. This makes sense because if I have β of a pie, that is more of the pie than if I have only got β of the pie.
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.
Comparing unit fractions to find the 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 a bigger share of the cake than ΒΌ of a cake even though the denominator of Β½, which is 2, is smaller than the denominator of ΒΌ, which is 4.
In the same way, if we compare ΒΌ with β to decide which is bigger, we will find that a ΒΌ share of that nice cake is a bigger share of the cake than a β share. So ΒΌ is a bigger fraction than β .
So now we can compare some fractions with the same denominator, and we can compare some unit fractions, and we can decide which is the biggest and which is the smallest.
With our Sow grow math game you will be practicing the topic "Which fraction is bigger?" from 2nd grade / Fractions / Compare fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of fractions, choose which one would be the bigger share of a whole.
Sow grow is a gentle game that concentrates on your ability to answer math questions. The game itself is very simple to play and does not require manual dexterity or fast reaction times. You are growing sunflowers in pots on a window sill. When you answer questions correctly you get to pick a sunflower to put in the vase. When the vase is full, you have completed the game.
