Flip the right number of cakes so the skillet matches a fraction of the whole set. Fourth and fifth graders tap cakes, then ring the bell when 3/8 of 16 or 2/5 of 20 is on the stack. Fast rounds make parts of a set feel like a short-order rush instead of a worksheet.
Pick a Mode and Level
Choose Timed or Survival, then Easy, Medium, or Hard. Heat the skillet when you are ready.
Read the Ticket
The order shows a fraction such as 1/8. That means flip that part of every cake on the skillet — not a random handful.
Flip the Cakes
Tap a cake to flip it. Tap again to put it back. Easy and Medium also show how many cakes that fraction is.
Ring It In
Press the bell when the flipped stack matches the fraction. A hit flies +100, +200, +300 as the streak grows. A miss resets the streak.
A Whole Set on the Skillet
Each order starts with 8 to 24 cakes. Students see the whole set, then flip only the part named by the fraction.
Ring the Bell to Serve
Tap cakes to flip or unflip. When the stack matches the ticket, ring the bell. Instant hits and misses keep the kitchen moving.
Three Set Sizes
Easy uses 8 or 12 cakes with halves and fourths. Medium adds sixteens and eighths. Hard goes to 20 and 24 and hides the count hint.
Rush or Survival
Race 75 seconds, or play with three lives. Streaks multiply points by hundreds. Best scores stay on this device.
Skillet Flip is a fourth- and fifth-grade fractions game about parts of a set. A ticket names a fraction. The skillet holds a whole set of cakes. The player flips exactly that fraction of the cakes, then rings a bell to serve. Distractors are built into the set itself: flipping 2 cakes on a skillet of 16 is 1/8, not 1/4. Students practice finding a fraction of a group instead of only shading a pie.
Makes Fractions of a Set Visible
A fraction of a set is a classroom model that is easy to talk about and hard to picture on a worksheet. Seeing 16 cakes and flipping 2 for 1/8 turns the computation into a count.
Separates the Part From the Whole
The whole set stays on the skillet. Students have to keep the total in mind, then find only the named part.
Equivalent Fractions Appear Naturally
Easy tickets include 2/4 of 8 next to 1/2 of 8. The same number of cakes can come from different-looking fractions.
Fast, Touch-Friendly Practice
Tap to flip. Ring to serve. Easy enough for a first fractions-of-a-set lesson; Hard enough for mixed fifth-grade sets.
No. 1/8 means one-eighth of the cakes that are on the skillet. On a set of 16, that is 2 cakes.
Tap a flipped cake to turn it back. You only lose a point streak when you ring the bell with the wrong count.
Easy uses 8 or 12 cakes and shows how many to flip. Medium uses 12 or 16 and adds eighths. Hard uses 16, 20, or 24 and hides the count hint.
Yes. Press Enter or Space to ring the bell after you have flipped at least one cake.
Fourth and fifth grade (about ages 9–11), when students learn fractions of a set. Younger students can stay on Easy.
