Fraction Fences: Fractions Game for Grades 3‑6
Build the fence before the goats escape.
A gap opens in the farm fence and the goats are heading for it. Stack fraction boards on the number line so they add up to exactly the length of the gap. Practice identifying fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.

What kids practise
Fraction Fences gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, adding fractions, subtracting fractions, and number line. It is written for grades 3-6, with levels that let younger and older players start at the right difficulty. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Mouse or touch: tap a board to add it to the fence. Keyboard: number keys 1-9 add a board, Left/Right arrows move between boards, Backspace undoes, C clears, H gives a hint, P pauses, M mutes.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
