Math · Grades 3–5

Free math games for grades 3–5

Four focused games for upper elementary math: fractions, liquid volume conversions, telling time and elapsed time, and number sense with visual models.

Games on this page

  • Fair Share

    Grades 3–5

    Match equal-parts pies and bars to fraction symbols, then compare fractions with the same denominator. Ten items per round, about 3–5 minutes.

  • Gallon Kingdom Quest

    Grades 3–5

    Convert gallons, quarts, pints, cups, and ounces across three levels. The Alchemist Lab lets students build amounts and see equivalents.

  • On the Clock

    Pre-K–5

    Read analog clocks from o'clock times to five-minute marks, then work out elapsed time. Eight questions per level.

  • See It

    Grade 5

    Grade 5 number sense: number bonds, open number lines, area models, and bar models, with a no-score lab for whole-class talk.

Which game for which skill

Third graders meeting fractions for the first time should start with Fair Share. It never prints the fraction on the picture, so students have to count equal parts. On the Clock builds from the hour to five-minute intervals, and its later levels are the elapsed-time practice that often trips students up on tests. Fourth graders converting customary units can keep the Magic Scroll in Gallon Kingdom Quest open while they work (1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 ounces), then close it as they get faster. Fifth graders and strong fourth graders can move on to See It, which asks students to see the structure before they calculate.

Running math stations

  1. Set up one game per station on Chromebooks or tablets, with no logins to hand out.
  2. Give each group 8–10 minutes, which is about two rounds of Fair Share or one level of On the Clock.
  3. At the teacher table, open See It's lab and ask students to explain a split out loud.
  4. For accountability, students screenshot the final score screen or write their score on a station card.

Standards

  • Fair Share supports practice toward CCSS 3.NF.A.1 (understanding a/b as parts of a whole) and 3.NF.A.3d (comparing fractions with the same denominator).
  • On the Clock supports practice toward CCSS 3.MD.A.1 (telling time to the minute and solving elapsed-time problems) and the earlier 1.MD.B.3 and 2.MD.C.7.
  • Gallon Kingdom Quest supports practice toward CCSS 4.MD.A.1 (expressing measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit) for customary liquid volume.
  • See It supports practice toward CCSS 5.NBT.B.5 and 4.NBT.B.5 strategies (area models and partial products) and bar-model word problems.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes. Every game is free, with no ads, no paid tier, and nothing to unlock.

Do students need to log in?

No. There are no accounts or sign-ups for students or teachers. Students open a link and play.

What grade are these math games for?

Fair Share and Gallon Kingdom Quest are for grades 3–5, See It is for grade 5, and On the Clock spans Pre-K to grade 5, so its early levels also work for younger students.

Do they work offline and on Chromebooks?

Yes. Each game runs in the browser and can be downloaded from the catalog as one HTML file that runs with no internet connection.

Are there printable math worksheets?

Yes. Fraction worksheets match Fair Share and telling time worksheets match On the Clock, each with an answer key. The other math games don't have worksheets yet; Gallon Kingdom's conversion scroll is easy to copy onto an anchor chart.

Is progress saved?

Some games keep a high score or progress in that browser only. Nothing is sent to a server.
