Children learn about the world of fractions in the Action Fraction game at the Kaboose website under the Back to School section. In addition, children get to practice adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. The object of the math game is to cross the finish line in the red car first by answering the most correct math questions. When the child provides a wrong answer or does not answer the question, the car slows down and stalls. The child proceeds to another level once she reaches the finish line. Action Fraction offers three levels of increasing difficulty.
Children learning about percentages can practice in the math game Percentage P.I. The object of the game is to help solve the mystery of a burglarized bank vault by using percentages. Children need to answer percent questions to open the vault and then calculate how much money someone took from the vault. For instance, children need to figure how much 10 is out of 100 on a pie chart. Another example is, "What is 42 percent of 1,000?" The correct answer is 420. The child will answer percent questions to help identify the person who took the material from the vault.
The Paint Brush Math game is similar to traditional workbook activities in which children paint by numbers. However, in Paint Brush Math not only do children paint by numbers but also children solve addition equations to discover the number. Children have a non-colored picture with numerous equations to the left and a paint canvas with 10 colors with a number in the middle. For example, a child answers the addition equation 2 + 2 = 4. Then he locates the paint that corresponds to the number 4, which is green, and drags it to the picture. The area of the picture that relates to the number 4 will change colors. When the child answers each equation and colors the entire picture the game is over.
Potion Master helps children discover measurements and weights by the imperial and other systems. The object of Potion Master is to create a potion to help a frog turn back into a prince. Math questions asked during the game include, "What is one pint equal to?" and "What is one quart equal to?" For every question answered correctly that amount of liquid goes into the large bowl over a fire.
