Learning about fractions
In this Grade 6 math collection, you can practice Fractions, decimals and percentages. Choose a game above for a short activity, or explore the examples below before you play. The full guide for each game explains its controls, gives more examples and includes a free printable for practice away from the screen.
Talk it through
Use counters, a drawing or a number line before moving to a mental method. Ask your child to explain a choice, then change one number and try the method again.
Ask: “How could you show the same answer another way?” Give your child time to explain. Return to an example after playing and ask whether they would approach it differently.
Fractions, decimals and percentages
In this matching game, children pair cards that show the same value in different forms: a fraction with a percentage, a decimal with a percentage, or a fraction with a decimal. The cards cover halves, quarters, fifths, tenths, eighths (including ⅜ = 0.375 from the curriculum), twentieths, twenty-fifths, fiftieths and hundredths.
Try an example: Match 3/5 with a percentage.
Multiply top and bottom by 20: 3/5 = 60/100.
Show the answer
60%
What to look out for
Thinking 0.4 = 4%. Write 0.4 as 0.40: that is 40 hundredths, so 40%.
Practice away from the screen
- Spot percentages in shop sales: is '25% off' the same as 'a quarter off'?
