The Story Behind My Mathematical Games
A long time ago I wrote a couple of Flash interactivities to help
people learn about fractions, percentages and decimals. They became very
popular, so I wrote a few more.
Which Math Games are Online?
- Sectors - what fraction of a circle
has been shaded? Answer in lowest terms!
- Shade
Shade in the correct number of regions to equal the fraction given.
- Fraction
Switch Put the sequence of fractions into ascending order by
switching them round.
- Up to
One Find the third fraction which when added to the two shown,
will bring their total to one whole.
- Equivalent
Fractions Enter the correct numbers into the boxes to make a
series of equivalent fractions.
- Percentage estimation - try to
estimate what percentage of the bar has been shaded. Score 3 marks
for being spot on. 2 for a very close answer, 1 for a fairly close
answer.
- Pie
Test Estimate the size of the sector of the pie chart which has
been shaded yellow..
- Scales
Move the pointer to match the decimal number given to you.
- Switch
Put the sequence of decimal numbers into ascending order by
switching them round.
- Sock Push the green blocks into the holes to make the target number.
This is only a small selection of my work. If you want to see
more, take a look at the main Mathematical
Interactivities section at hellam.net , join the Interactivities
Forum to learn more about how to create your own interactive
educational multimedia resources or take a look at my math games project, beginning in October 2004.
