What it practises
- Maths calculation: Arithmetic, fractions, ratios, powers and number bases at a steady pace.
- Decision-making & reaction: Reading a fast-changing scene and choosing a move under time pressure.
Games are good for calculation speed and accuracy. Mathematical concepts still need teaching and explanation.
Quick lesson: Placing numbers on a line
On a number line every number has its own place. Negatives sit left of zero, and decimals and fractions sit between whole numbers: 0.5 and 1/2 are the same point, halfway from 0 to 1.
Check question
Which number sits halfway between 0 and 1?
- 0.2
- 1/4
- 0.5
- 5
Answer: 0.5. 0.5 is a half, so it sits exactly halfway between 0 and 1.
More games like this
- Sum Surge: Tap tiles that add up to the target number. Hit it exactly to clear them; go over and start again. Two tiles at first, then three and four.
- Multiply Matrix: Multiplication with the area model. Small facts show a grid of cells; bigger ones split into tens and ones so the rectangle breaks into easy parts.
- Graph Hunter: Plot coordinates to hit drones. One quarter of the grid, then all four, then points on a straight line.
- Fraction Forge: Add fraction shards to fill the core exactly to the target line. The core is marked in a common denominator, so you can see which fractions are equal.
- Ratio Reactor: Mix coolant in the right ratio. Scale a recipe up, find an equivalent ratio, or share a total between two tanks.
- Percent Patch: Patch the shield to the right value: percentages of an amount, then increases and decreases, then “what percent is it?”.
