Kids play & come together.

Fraction Ball is a team basketball game where 4th and 5th graders master fractions through play, replacing math boredom with real confidence and joy.

Every point scored is a fraction.

Students add, compare, and convert fractions as they track their team’s score. The math is core to the game itself, not an additional lesson plan.

Classroom ready in seconds.

The Fraction Ball Mat brings the action indoors. Unroll it for a 20 to 40-minute session, then roll it right back up. It fits seamlessly with small group stations.

Designed for ease & growth.

Structured, self-managed, and simple to run. Backed by peer-reviewed research, Fraction Ball delivers high-energy math learning.

Ready for the Court and the Classroom.

  • "Students wanted to win, and they wanted to make sure that they got the amount of points that they earned. It was a lot of mental math and communication. More than anything, I saw a lot of collaboration, communication, critical thinking on their feet."

    — Guadalupe Cruz, 5th Grade Teacher at El Sol Academy

  • "There was a student in particular who was very frustrated at the beginning... Then little by little I saw his confidence growing and he was convinced that he could do it. That confidence he gained on the court is carrying over into the classroom."

    — Ivet Gonzalez, STEM Specialist at El Sol Academy

  • "With my class, their math skills were improving a lot faster with Fraction Ball versus doing the regular work we normally did the last few years. My kids convert fractions greater than one a lot quicker than they did before; more automatically."

    — Anonymous, 4th Grade Teacher
