Fractions · halves to twelfths
Every Fraction, One Page Each
A fraction wall you can tap, and a page for each of the 50 fractions kids meet in elementary school.
The fraction wall
Every row is the same whole, so you can see at a glance that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, and that two 1/4s line up with 1/2. Tap a brick to open its page.

Halves
Questions
What is a fraction wall?
A stack of bars that are all the same length, each cut into a different number of equal parts. Because every bar is the same whole, kids can compare fractions by eye and spot equal ones.
Why does this stop at twelfths?
Halves through twelfths cover what kids meet in 1st to 4th grade, and they're the denominators the game uses. In US Common Core, 3rd grade works with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, and 4th grade adds 5, 10, 12 and 100.
Can I print the fraction wall?
Yes. Use your browser's print command on this page, or print a ready-made fraction bars worksheet.
Is the fraction game really free?
Yes. The whole game plays free in your browser, with no signup, no ads and no time limit. A Fraction Bakery app for iPhone is coming later, but the web game stays free.
Take the bakery with you, soon
A Fraction Bakery app for iPhone is on the way. The plan: offline play for the car, a parent report of which fractions have stuck, and the full bakery shelf of prizes. Until then, the whole game is free right here.
Coming soon on theApp Store
