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.
6th grade / Number / Fractions / Multiply fractions / Fractions of amounts
Calculating fractions of amounts involves finding a fraction of a given quantity or number. The process of calculating fractions of amounts can be done in two ways.
Method 1: Divide the number or quantity by the denominator of the fraction, then multiply the result by the fraction numerator to get the answer.
This method can be summarised as:
fraction of amount = (amount รท denominator) x numerator
Method 2: Convert the fraction to a decimal then multiply that decimal by the quantity or amount. Follow the steps below to see how this method works:
Step 1: Convert the fraction to a decimal
The first step in calculating fractions of amounts is to convert the fraction to a decimal. To do this, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, if you want to calculate 1/4 of 80, you would divide 1 by 4, which gives 0.25.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the quantity
Once you have converted the fraction to a decimal, the next step is to multiply the decimal by the quantity you are trying to find the fraction of. For example, to find 1/4 of 80, you would multiply 0.25 by 80, which gives you the answer of 20.
So, the general formula to calculate fractions of amounts with this method is:
fraction of amount = (numerator รท denominator) x amount
For example, to calculate 3/5 of 100, you would follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the fraction to a decimal
3 รท 5 = 0.6
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the quantity
0.6 x 100 = 60
Therefore, 3/5 of 100 is 60.
With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "Fractions of amounts" from 6th grade / Number / Fractions / Fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to find fractions of amounts by first dividing by the fraction denominator then multiplying by the numerator.
In Year 7 in the UK, students typically continue to build upon their understanding of fractions, which they started developing in earlier grades. Here's an overview of key concepts related to fractions that are commonly taught in Year 7:
Understanding Fractions: Students learn that fractions represent parts of a whole or a group. They understand that a fraction consists of a numerator (the number above the fraction line) and a denominator (the number below the fraction line). The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.
Equivalent Fractions: Students explore equivalent fractions, which are different fractions that represent the same value. They learn that equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, and so on.
Comparing and Ordering Fractions: Students learn to compare fractions and order them from least to greatest or greatest to least. They understand that when fractions have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is greater. When fractions have different denominators, they convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator to compare.
Adding and Subtracting Fractions: Students begin to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (for example, 1/4 + 2/4). They also learn to add or subtract fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator and then adjusting the numerators accordingly.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions: Students explore multiplication and division of fractions. They learn to multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. For division, they learn to invert the second fraction and multiply. For example, to divide 1/4 by 1/2, you multiply by the reciprocal, which is 2/1.
Fractions in Real-Life Contexts: Students apply their understanding of fractions to real-life situations, such as measurements, recipes, and problem-solving scenarios. They learn to interpret and solve word problems involving fractions.
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!
