Educational Insights Fraction Formula Game visually teaches children about fractions. It’s a fun math game for kids that is colorful, playful, and educational.
We love it!
Fraction Formula Game
More than that, my kids, even my six-year-old, are finally conceptualizing fractions! So, fun and learning in one game, what’s not to love?
To Play:
Each player starts with a cylinder.
To play, draw one fraction card from the card pile.
Drop the card’s corresponding fraction colored tile into the cylinder. For example, if you draw a 1/3 card, you put a 1/3 fizzy tile into your cylinder.
Play continues.
The object is to get as close to 1 whole without going over.
If a player draws a fraction that makes your tile go over the top line, that player automatically loses.
If you think you should stop adding fractions tiles because you’re too close to the top, you announce “hold” and stop playing.
Points are awarded by who gets closest to one whole — the top line with the second closest and third closest to one whole as second and third place.
The age recommendation is 8 – 11 but JJ is 6 and she did fine.
I love this hands-on math game because it really helps us visually see the fractions. This is always a top pick for my kids on family game night.

This looks like a very fun idea! I have a seven year old grandson who is excited about learning “whatever comes next” in his math class. This game would be a real treat for him.

This game looks like a great visual tool for understanding fractions, and it seems like it would really be fun! I’d love to win this game for my students. 🙂
Thank you for posting! I have a child that wants to learn more math, but doesn’t want to do worksheets in the summer (can’t say I blame her). We can sneak in some learning in our game days!!!
This would be a great game for my 9 year-old who loves math!

I would love to win this game! I teach 3rd grade and fractions are a big part of the 3rd grade standards! 🙂
Is it wrong that I’m horrible with fractions? I could probably use this game to brush up on my own skills!
I think this would be a great game for my second graders when we work with fractions. : )
It’s so hard to teach fractions without using pizza and cookies. As much as I love pizza and cookies, those get old fast when teaching this math concept. Since this hands-on game includes both manipulatives and number cards it’s a great concept. Definately, a keeper!
Great idea! My kids (and husband) would love to play this!!
Great way to learn about fractions! Actually seeing what is being talked about really concretizes the concept. And makes it fun! Great idea!
This would be a great addition to our homeschool games!
This looks great! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve heard that fractions are one of the most difficult concepts for kids to get. These sound like a brilliant remedy!
My 5th graders would really enjoy this interactive tool!
I am really excited about this game. I think that it will make learning fractions easier to understand and fun at the same time. I am a homeschool mom of three and think this would be a great a learning tool to add to out math workstation.
What a fun and hands on way to learn fractions! Thanks for the giveaway and your site is awesome.
I am a homeschool mom of 2 girls and this would be great! My older daughter is very good at math, but struggles because she doesn’t enjoy it very much. Having fun things like this would help a lot!! Thanks for your giveaway! This is the first I have heard of your site!! It is awesome!
