Fraction Matcher



Fractions Matcher From the University of Colorado asks pupils to recognise equivalent fractions both as graphic representations and expressed as numbers. Students are required to recognise equivalent fractions of a variety of differing shapes.

There are eight levels of difficulty in to chose from making this fractions activity suitable for all levels of ability across both Key Stage 1 and Key stage 2.

There is an option to play the game against the clock and the sound can be turned off (always a bonus!).


Pupils drag and drop fractions as images and fractions expressed as numbers in ti place on a virtual balance and check their work. If correct then a scale shows the user which of the two choices is the bigger and allows another attempt…

Toy Shop Money Game by Topmarks



Toy Shop Money is a game for helping children understand UK money. There are also versions of the game in other currencies – US Dollars and Australian dollars

There game has two options; in the first children click on a gallery of coins to make up varying amounts to buy the toys at their given prices, and the second Children are asked to work out the change from an amount tendered.

It is possible to select whether the game is played sith an array of coins all the same or whether a child is offered an array of mixed coinage from which to select coins for payment or change giving.

Top marks say that their money game is suitable for children from 4 to 11 years of age as it has varying levels of difficulty and I have to agree. From the simplest possible calculations, repeatedly adding coins of the same value, to complex calculations with mixed coins giving change from amounts up to £10, this high quality resource delivers.

It is suitable for use on whiteboards, desktop computers and all hand held devices.

A River’s Journey by bbc.co.uk

The journey of a river can be divided into three sections: upper, middle and lower.  On this detailed webpage you can choose one of the sections to research.

Pupils are encouraged to look at the clips for each section of the river and make a note of any words that they do not understand, discuss them and use a dictionary to find out what they mean.  They are invited to display these words on the board.

Other activities are suggested:  create a report to describe the section of the river just researched to the rest of the class;  think about the sort of features seen that part of the river; use as many describing words as possible to talk about the speed of the water, the sounds or what might be seen; agree a script for a report to be present it to the rest of the class;  hot seat taking questions from the class; record the report and save the audio file to a computer.
