Fraction Flash
The Gobbler, a hungry monster, heads for the cake. Each player has a gazelle and their own buttons: the first to give the correct answer stops it and scores a point. At every correction, fraction bars cut along the common denominator show why the answer is right.

What pupils practice
- Write a fraction equivalent to another with a given denominator.
- Simplify a fraction to its simplest form.
- Find a common denominator and rewrite two fractions with the same denominator.
- Compare and order fractions with different denominators, and compare them with 1.
How to play
- Choose the number of players (1 to 4), then the activities and their level: several can be mixed.
- Set the number of questions (5 to 20), the answers offered (3 or 4) and the time per question.
- Each player answers on their own buttons. A mistake locks their buttons until the next question.
- At the correction, fraction bars replace the question. The final ranking shows points, mistakes and best time.
In the classroom
Before tapping, ask the pupil at the board to say what number they multiply the numerator and denominator by.
Seated pupils write the answer on their slates, then check it against the bars in the correction.
Useful settings
- Five activities: equivalent fractions, simplify, common denominator, compare and order.
- Level 1: small numbers, one denominator a multiple of the other. Level 2: neither denominator a multiple of the other, fractions greater than 1.
- The game can be played in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
