Simplifying Fractions
by Anonymous
Divide fraction bars by common factors to see the size stay the same, then use the greatest common factor to reach the simplest form in one step.
About this app
Simplifying Fractions is an interactive math game for practicing fraction reduction and lowest terms. Learners use fraction bars and controls to divide the numerator and denominator by common factors while seeing that the fraction’s value stays the same. Three activities cover step-by-step reduction, greatest common divisor practice, and a challenge to identify the one-step divisor.
