Game: THE FROG FLIES
Aim: Help the frog catch the flies
Method:
Use keyboard arrow keys or tap your tablet/mobile to control the frog and catch the flies. Avoid the birds! Answer the math questions to win additional points.
Scoring is based on speed, flies caught and the number of correct answers.
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 The frog flies 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.
Learn or revise math with our fun interactive game THE FROG FLIES! You are a happy hungry frog in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night. Catch the flies for your supper (and practice math just for fun).
You can play the game on tablet/mobile or desktop computer. On handheld devices you move the frog by tapping where you want it to move to. On a computer, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move.
Sometimes a big bird swoops through the forest catching unwary amphibians so stay alert and get out of the way of its beak!
Scoring is based on flies caught, questions answered and number of deaths by bird. Your final score is your total points minus your time in seconds.
The highest scores for each topic can be saved and seen by clicking on the star button, so get learning and get your frog's name up in lights!
