Maths games frac wall

Use the arrow keys to guide your brick and destroy the wall or if you are using a tablet, tap either side to direct your brick and both sides to make it fall faster. A great game for practising a wide range of mathematical skills.

Levels are based on objectives from the new maths curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6. Topics include: multiplication, addition, reading numbers, subtraction, fractions of numbers, Roman numerals, division, converting fractions to decimals and percentages and simplifying fractions. You can choose to play a single level, a selection of levels, or choose all the objectives from a year group within the same topic. There is a full list of levels below.

To the right of the wall are boxes which can be hidden, the value of each box is fraction of the wall that has been turned on. When you launch this interactive teaching program the initial wall is a mixed one showing 3 distinct fraction families. Change the wall by using the mode control.

The others split the wall along 2s, 3s or 5s. Use the display type control to display decimals rounded to 2dp , percentages rounded to 1dp , fractions or none. Normally when you click a brick to turn it on or off, only that brick is affected. However if you turn on the equivalent fraction function by clicking the 'Eq' toggle button. Now when a brick is clicked the other layers will turn on bricks if they can match an equivalent fraction.

Note, this is not always possible, in fact if you select the primes wall it is never possible to show an equivalent fraction. In this case all the other layers have bricks turned off.

Also known as 'the lowest common multiple' or 'smallest common multiple' is crucial when adding, subtracting or comparing fractions. This button will calculate the LCM based on the rows that have active bricks.
