The Half-way Fraction Game

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

Honi, Jake and Kay play a game. Honi and Jake each choose a fraction and Kay tries to find the fraction that is half-way between Honi’s and Jake’s fractions on the number line.

If Honi chooses 1/4 and Jake chooses 5/8, what fraction should Kay choose?
