Slice & Share

Move and slice fraction blocks between two pans until the scale sits perfectly level.

How to play

A balance has fraction blocks on each pan and spares in a tray. Move blocks between pans and cut them into smaller fractions until both sides weigh exactly the same. The puzzle is solved the instant the two pans are balanced.

• Add, remove and slice blocks so the left and right totals match.
• Cutting a block splits it into equal fractional parts you can redistribute.
• Fewer cuts and faster solves score higher.
• An undo step lets you walk back a move if it does not help.

Controls

• Desktop: click a block to select it, then click a pan or the cut control to act.
• Phone & tablet: tap a block to pick it up, then tap a pan or the slice control.

Game modes

• Daily seeded balance or Practice with adjustable difficulty.

Tips & strategy

• Convert both pans to a common denominator in your head before you start cutting.
• Slice only when you must — every unnecessary cut costs points.
• Aim to make the smaller pan heavier by adding the exact missing fraction rather than rebuilding both sides.

What you'll learn

Slice & Share teaches equivalent fractions and adding fractions through a tactile balance, where matching shares is how you win.

• Skills: equivalent fractions, adding fractions, part-of-a-whole, common denominators
• Best for: roughly grades 3–6 (ages 8–12)
• For parents & teachers: a second, balance-based angle on fraction fluency.
