📖 Your Story

You are a station master assistant helping passengers board trains at different fractional kilometre markers. The railway track from Station A to Station B is marked on a number line, and you must guide passengers to their correct boarding points using fractions.

What You'll Learn

  • Understand fractions as multiples of fractional units (e.g., 3/4 as 3 times 1/4)
  • Identify numerator and denominator in a fraction
  • Mark fractional lengths accurately on a number line
  • Recognize that infinite fractions exist between 0 and 1

How to Play

1Observe the number line showing distance from Station A (0 km) to Station B (1 km)
2Click on fractional markers to see how many times a fractional unit fits into one whole
3Drag the train to different fractional positions and read the distance
4Complete each mission by correctly identifying and marking fraction positions
