Why Practice Fractions?
Fractions are one of the most important - and most challenging - topics in primary maths. Strong fraction understanding helps children with:
Learning levels
Beginner - Parts of a whole
Start with visual games that show fractions as pieces of a shape or pizza. Build the concept before introducing symbols.
Intermediate - Compare and convert
Move on to comparing fractions, finding equivalents, and converting between fractions and decimals.
Advanced - Operate and apply
Tackle fraction arithmetic and percentage problems. These skills are essential for secondary maths and real-life problem solving.
5-session starter plan

- Session 2 - Use Simple Fractions to practise naming and recognising fractions.
- Session 3 - Try Fraction Builder to explore numerators and denominators interactively.
- Session 4 - Play Fraction Compare to develop intuition for fraction size and equivalence.
- Session 5 - Take on Fraction Operations to begin adding and subtracting fractions.
Frequently asked questions
At what age do children start learning fractions?
Children are usually introduced to fractions in Year 2 or 3 (ages 6-8) with simple halves and quarters, building up to operations in Year 5 and 6.
Why do so many children struggle with fractions?
Fractions require a shift in thinking - the same number can be bigger or smaller depending on the denominator. Visual games help make this concrete before abstract rules are introduced.
What is the difference between a fraction and a decimal?
They represent the same thing in different forms. 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%. Goldy's games help children move fluently between all three representations.
Do I need to know fractions to understand percentages?
Yes - percentages are fractions with a denominator of 100. A strong fraction foundation makes percentages much easier to understand and apply.
How do Goldy's fraction games adapt to each learner?
Goldy tracks which fraction concepts a child finds challenging and increases or decreases difficulty automatically to keep practice at the right level.
