Learning, when you ask

Turn fractions into a kitchen game

Slice pizzas or share cakes in halves, thirds and quarters: an explicit fractions request wrapped in a playful kitchen story.

Sharing food in a game kitchen is a natural way to picture halves and quarters. Describe the kitchen goal first, then name the simple fractions you want to see on screen.

A sentence to try

Make a kitchen game where a friendly baker shares pizzas. Include simple fractions like half, a third and a quarter.

Make it your own

  1. Set the scene in the kitchen

    Choose a baker, a chef or a picnic helper who is preparing orders for friends.

  2. Name the fractions you want

    Ask explicitly for halves, thirds or quarters so the first version stays visual and approachable.

  3. Refine after a few rounds

    Play together and see how the slices look. Use the change box to adjust the fractions or the timer.

Then try a change

Use only halves and quarters, and remove the timer so we can look at each pizza.

Start with simple fractions that are easy to see at a glance, and check the game together before sharing.

Where will your idea go?

Open the maker and tell it what you imagine. These examples are starting points; your game can take a different turn.

Make your own game

A few things to know

Does every game need a learning goal?

No. Start with something fun. If you want addition, words or another learning goal, include it in the request.

Are these games ready to play?

These are guides with example requests. Open the maker to describe your own game, wait while it is built, then play and ask for changes.

Should children use Plaiku with a grown-up?

Yes. Explore together, avoid personal details in requests, and have a grown-up review a game before sharing it.
