The Half-way Fraction Game

Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi. We will update this message again shortly.

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?
