Scaling by Fractions

About Scaling by Fractions

Kids decide whether multiplying by a fraction makes a number bigger, smaller, or the same, then scale whole numbers, fractions, and mixed numbers.

There are 3 levels of 10 questions, from easy to challenging. A hint appears after a miss, the answer is shown after two misses, and kids earn up to 3 stars. Nothing is timed, so every child can work at their own pace.
