Game: PONG
Aim: Break the bricks, score points
Method:
Use your mouse or tap in the white bar to move the paddle horizontally to bounce the ball up the screen. Answer questions when you break the white bricks, score big points with the yellow bricks.
Your final score is based on correct answers, bricks broken and time taken.
6th grade / Number / Fractions / Fraction basics / Identify unit fractions
A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is always 1. For example, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are all unit fractions.
To identify a unit fraction, you need to look at the numerator of the fraction. If the numerator is 1, then it is a unit fraction.
Here are some examples of how to identify unit fractions:
Example 1: 2/3
The numerator of this fraction is 2, so it is not a unit fraction.
Example 2: 1/4
The numerator of this fraction is 1, so it is a unit fraction.
Example 3: 2/6
The numerator of this fraction is 2, so it is not a unit fraction. However, you can see that this fraction can be simplified to the unit fraction 1/3 by dividing numerator and denominator by 2.
Remember this topic asks you to identify unit fractions ...
... but also fractions that simplify to unit fractions.
Example 4: 1/1
The numerator of this fraction is 1, so it is a unit fraction.
In general, the form of a unit fraction is 1/denominator where the denominator can be any positive integer except for 0.
Identifying unit fractions is important in many mathematical operations, such as adding and subtracting fractions, and converting between fractions and decimals.
With our Pong math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify unit fractions" from 6th grade / Number / Fractions / Fractions. The math in this game consists of 18 questions that ask you to identify the fractions that are unit fractions, or will simplify to unit fractions.
In Year 7 in the UK, students typically continue to build upon their understanding of fractions, which they started developing in earlier grades. Here's an overview of key concepts related to fractions that are commonly taught in Year 7:
Understanding Fractions: Students learn that fractions represent parts of a whole or a group. They understand that a fraction consists of a numerator (the number above the fraction line) and a denominator (the number below the fraction line). The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.
Equivalent Fractions: Students explore equivalent fractions, which are different fractions that represent the same value. They learn that equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, and so on.
Comparing and Ordering Fractions: Students learn to compare fractions and order them from least to greatest or greatest to least. They understand that when fractions have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is greater. When fractions have different denominators, they convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator to compare.
Adding and Subtracting Fractions: Students begin to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (for example, 1/4 + 2/4). They also learn to add or subtract fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator and then adjusting the numerators accordingly.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions: Students explore multiplication and division of fractions. They learn to multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. For division, they learn to invert the second fraction and multiply. For example, to divide 1/4 by 1/2, you multiply by the reciprocal, which is 2/1.
Fractions in Real-Life Contexts: Students apply their understanding of fractions to real-life situations, such as measurements, recipes, and problem-solving scenarios. They learn to interpret and solve word problems involving fractions.
In our version of Pong/Breakout, there are 3 types of bricks for you to break: green bricks are worth just 2 points; yellow bricks are worth a whopping 50 points; breaking white bricks, which are worth 10 points, wins you a math question from the topic you have chosen.
You start with 5 lives. If the ball goes below the paddle, you lose a life and 200 points. The game ends when you answer all 10 questions or lose all your lives.
